Grease - set author initials?

Using Grease can you set the author initials of an image on Squeak and
Pharo?  If not is that something that should/could be added ?

You can do it with these two lines:

('Pharo*' match: Smalltalk version) ifTrue:[Author fullName: 'travisci'].

('Squeak*' match: Smalltalk version) ifTrue:[Utilities
setAuthorInitials: 'tra'].

Hm... could exist if anyone wants it badly enough. Do all platforms even have that concept though?

I ended up just putting the code I posted to the list in the script
where I needed it. I'm glad I sent it to the list so I could google for
it when I'd forgotten how to do it in the future.

I don't think its necessary or advisable to add it to Grease and I don't
know if all platforms have that concept.  I agree about keeping the core
small.  So I'd say my issue is a non issue at this point.

I forgot to mention that the reason setting the Author with Grease came
up is because when the

GRPharoPlatformTests>>#testCompileIntoClassified

is run a dialog pops up asking to specify the Author which happens on
Squeak and Pharo.  Not sure about the other platforms.
