Family name missing on first record if it exists only after a separator

[joeyparis]

Input

Namae.parse('Larry and Irene Smeltzer')

Expected Output:

# => [#<Name family="Smeltzer" given="Larry">, #<Name family="Smeltzer" given="Irene">]

Actual Output:

#=> [#<Name given="Larry">, #<Name family="Smeltzer" given="Irene">]

Proposed Solution:
If two names are separated by and or & (probably not ;), and one of the two names does not have a family name it should inherit the family name of the other record. I'm going to attempt to solve this myself but the autogenerated racc file is a little intimidating.

We would most certainly need to add a configuration option for this, because and, & and similar conjunctions are frequently used in regular name lists. And don't worry, the auto-generated file should not be changed, instead you make the changes to the source file and then run the racc rake task.

Sorry, I meant to say the source file to generate the racc file is intimidating (but I guess not as much as the actual generated file 😂). I've started to read up on racc so hopefully I'll be able to contribute to this soon!
