Comment (by ericmann):

 Not at the moment. My first attempt allowed users to pass an array into
 'orderby' rather than just a string. So:

 {{{
 $args = array(
     'post_type' => 'post'
     'orderby' => array(
         'author ASC',
         'date DESC'
     )
 );
 }}}

 The advantage to this approach is that it wouldn't break backwards compat.
 Disadvantage is that is combines the behavior of 'orderby' and 'order' and
 could confuse people ... particularly if they use both parameters.
