getFirstName()
function getFirstName(fullName: string): string;
Returns the first word of a person's name, or an empty string if the name is blank.
Status text people add to their display name isn't part of the name. Anything after a |, @
or dash with spaces around it is left out, as is a trailing OOO or note in parentheses, so
Ada Lovelace (OOO Friday) and Ada Lovelace @ Paternity Leave both read as Ada Lovelace.
