We introduced :suppress-author because someone requested it at some
point. I don't remember who, but it may be worth asking that person.

I think there are two points to consider before removing suppress-author
syntax:

1. does it make sense to apply it independently on references within
   a full citation?

2. does it make sense to apply it on top of another style?

If both answers are no, this can definitely go away.

Note that Org Citation library does not recognize styles. It is up to
the processor to interpret it as a short-hand for "suppress-author".
