Guest Author Descriptions

First, I just want to say thanks for the great plugin. I couldn’t find a function that displays the ‘Biographical Info’ (i.e., co-author descriptions) of my Guest Authors, so I made a small/minor change to the plugin. The modification appears to be working, but I’m not an experienced coder, so there’s a pretty good chance I did something incorrent. I was hoping that you might review the change and consider incorporating it (or something similar) into the plugin in a future version.

Here’s what I did: In the template-tags.php file I added the following code:

function coauthors_descriptions( $between = '</p><p>', $betweenLast = '</p><p>', $before = '<p>', $after = '</p>', $echo = true ) {
	return coauthors__echo( 'get_the_author_meta', 'tag', array(
		'between' => $between,
		'betweenLast' => $betweenLast,
		'before' => $before,
		'after' => $after,
	), 'description', $echo );
}

That’s it. And in my template file where I want the descriptions to appear I put the following:

<?php coauthors_descriptions(); ?>

Again, this seems to be working fine, but I’m not sure if I made a mistake or if there’s a better way to do it. I’m sure I’m not the only one who’d really appreciate it if you could add this or something similar to the plugin in a future version.
