Description

I expected @author["Alice" "Bob"] to be rendered to something like \author{Alice \and Bob} but it gets rendered to \author{Alice\hspace*{\fill}\\and Bob}. Wouldn't it be nicer to use LaTeX's facility for multiple authors instead of the aforementioned code?

Research direction

Start by locating the LaTeX rendering path for @author and reproduce the difference between the reported output and the expected \author{Alice \and Bob} form. Done means multiple authors render using LaTeX's \and facility rather than the current spacing and line-break sequence.
