So if I wanted to bold one specific author in a reference of many, I can 
just loop over publications.getcasted(...), and print the appropriate 
names, initials, etc...

That said -- is there any way to call the appropriate authorconversion 
routine based on the \setupbtx settings? I found the 
publications.authorhashers method table, which seems to do most of this 
work, but I'm not sure how to pick the appropriate method and ensure 
that the correct separators are used.
