Summary: If 1st Author empty, show 1st Editor instead

Initial Comment:
I have First Author as my leftmost column.  Every now and again I have a 
book that has only Editors, not Authors.  Usually it's the base for a group 
of book chapters, but BibTeX allows Books to only have Editors.

This results in a blank field for those books, but if I add First Editor then I 
have a blank column for all the other items.

It'd be great if, in a way similar to Container and Title (for inbook), First 
Author could, iif all the Authors are empty, show 'Editor's Name (ed)'  (ie 
the name of the First Editor followed by an ideally greyed (ed) so that one 
can see that it's actually an editor.)
