I have had another thought. I will look at provisionally making
ALLOW_AUTHOR_IS_LIST a 3 way switch for 2.1.16 with 0 or False (No)
meaning current (2.1.15) behavior, 1 or True (Yes) meaning the 2.1.16rc1
behavior and 2 meaning the encapsulated message behavior.

If implementation doesn't turn into a can of worms or delay the release
too long, I'll do that and encourage interested people to try it and
report so we can get some practical experience with which to compare the
different approaches.

It will still be labeled experimental and subject to future change.
