Evaluates the content of last/surname (authors etc.) parameters for multiple names.
Multiple names are indicated if there is more than one comma or any "unescaped"
semicolons. Escaped semicolons are ones used as part of selected HTML entities.
If the condition is met, the function adds the multiple name maintenance category.

Compares values assigned to various parameters according to the string provided as <item> in the function call.
<item> can have on of two values:
'generic_names' – for name-holding parameters: |last=, |first=, |editor-last=, etc
'generic_titles' – for |title=  
There are two types of generic tests. The 'accept' tests look for a pattern that should not be rejected by the
'reject' test. For example,
|author=Smith, John
would be rejected by the 'author' reject test. But piped wikilinks with 'author' disambiguation should not be
rejected so the 'accept' test prevents that from happening. Accept tests are always performed before reject
tests.  
Each of the 'accept' and 'reject' sequence tables hold tables for en.wiki (['en']) and local.wiki (['local'])
that each can hold a test sequence table The sequence table holds, at index [1], a test pattern, and, at index
[2], a boolean control value. The control value tells string.find or mw.ustring.find to do plain-text search (true)
or a pattern search (false). The intent of all this complexity is to make these searches as fast as possible so
that we don't run out of processing time on very large articles.  
Returns
true when a reject test finds the pattern or string
false when an accept test finds the pattern or string
nil else
