   Is there a way to obtain a list of firstnames + lastnames of authors?
   I don't know how to do that using the provided functions coauthors_firstnames and coauthors_lastnames. In other words, I need "John Smith and James Brown" rather than "John and James" or "Smith and Brown". I'm thinking of a coauthors_firstnames_lastnames() function...
   Thanks

   this is works - however if there's a simpler way someone please let me know!

   • the co-author pluggin allows multiple authors
   • the CoAuthorsIterator() allows you to step through them
   • however you still use the native the_author_firstname() & the_author_lastname() functions

   $i = new CoAuthorsIterator();
   print $i->count() == 1 ? 'Author: ' : 'Authors: ';
   $i->iterate();
   the_author_firstname();
   echo " ";
   the_author_lastname();
   while($i->iterate()){
       print $i->is_last() ? ' and ' : ', ';
       the_author_firstname();
       echo " ";
       the_author_lastname();
   }
