# Pass it a list of names as command line arguments
# and it will return a list of all people who follow everyone in the
# list.
# A person is implicitly assumed to follow themselves, so if foo follows
# bar and bar follows foo then common_followers foo bar would include
# both foo and bar in the output, but if bar did not follow foo it 
# would include neither.
