During the building of the JavaScript calculators, I went back and forth about what the
right variable names ought to be. Some of them were cashAmount other were
businessAssetsAmount. I.e. every variable had amount appended.
In doing so, I learned that appending amount added little, except length.
Also, I really regret not instituting a clear division between HTML style names
(cash_amount) and JavaScript style names (cashAmount), policed at some stable
intersection.
