As a former classicist, I'm always pleased to see Latin find a new niche in our records, but I wonder about this one. If "$c sculpsit" is OK, would headings like "James, $c illustrated by" also be OK, since it too is wording "that appears with the name"? At the same time, I'm reluctant to leave the use of qualifiers like "engraver" unconstrained, because they're too variable. We do need a reliable, neutral qualifier to use to distinguish a name heading when no approved qualifier is available (or at least, we do until a system of unique identifiers for persons frees us somehow from the need for unique name headings), but I don't think a supplied role designation is it.
