I'd prefer shorter too, but isn't part of the point that this will
rarely need to be typed?  Contributors will just put --Scott and that
will magically turn into --Contributors/{{Scott}}

You're allowed to do what you want ala Larry Wall:

	Rule #1: Pm is always right about pmwiki.
	Rule #2: Pm is allowed to change his mind even if Rule #1 has
