[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Duplicate entry in authors.tt2 (is this bug 958954?)

[Sarah Childs]

If the bug is not the same problem as the one Tony is describing, it's very
closely related.  The bug does refer to the subfield e, the RDA terms, and
it looks like that's what the non-parenthetical terms are in his example.

I would vote for ditching the parenthetical terms entirely. If there are
relator terms, display them (subfield e).  If there are not, but there are
relator codes (subfield 4), translate and supply those. (Don't give codes,
give terms.)  If there is nothing, give nothing, just the names. The
parenthetically supplied terms are usually not that useful and often are
misleading, redundant, or both.
