```
public static CSLName[] parse(String names)
```
    Parses names to CSLName objects. Also handles strings containing multiple names separated by and. The method always returns at least one object, even if the given names cannot be parsed. In this case the returned object just contains a literal string.
    
    Special handling is provided for names enclosed in braces {}, which are meant to be preserved as-is in the output.
    
    Parameters:
    
    names - the names to parse
    
    Returns:
    
    the CSLName objects (never null and never empty)
