Actually, that shouldn't be any problem.
Afterall these classes are no more than linked lists that can return a
string.
Modifying the string they return should be quite simple.
Now, AuthorList returns "\author{$FirstItem}",
AuthorListItem returns "$Me\and{$Next}",
and the last AuthorListItem returns "$Me".
we can get these 3 values from a config file instead.
so it can be useful for many lists that require nesting.
(not that I'm aware of any)

Sure.
I checked it already.
