+% additional option choices:
+%  - add `giveninits=true` to typeset "E. A. Poe" instead of full Edgar Allan
+%  - add `maxnames=10` to limit (or loosen) the maximum number of authors in
+%    bibliography entry before shortening to `et al.` (useful when referring to
+%    book collections that may have hundreds of authors)
+%  - for additional flexibility (e.g. multiple reference sections, etc.),
+%    remove `backend=bibtex` and compile with `biber` instead of `bibtex` (see
+%    Makefile)
+%
+% possibly reverse the names of the authors with the default styles:
