[Therion] Revise command: how to remove persons later on

[John Stevens]

I think Wookey maybe right, 'merge' sounds like a better term.
It also give the possibility of creating a club list of cavers
eg. merge name "ABC Caving Club" "Caver1" "Caver2" etc.

I Personally do not wish to edit very old source records, as they should 
closely tally with the original books.
It took me quite a while to replace a David with a Dave that got in to one 
set of data. At least I could do it by caves, then series, then passages, 
before finally finding the correct file.
A 'merge' type statement could be very useful to put key surveyors and then 
clubs involved especially on larger scale surveys where title box room is 
frequently limited.

Maybe correct data in this way: „Jones A. born Smith“
