+* By default, any JavaScript code written is defined in the global namespace, which means it's accessible directly under the "window" element.
+* If you have a lot of scripts, this can lead to clutter and naming collisions (what if two different scripts use a variable called "i"? They can inadvertently mess each other up).
+* To get around this, we define the registerNamespace function in the global namespace, which just confines all the code in the function passed to it to a property under window.
+* That property is represented as the "path" parameter. It is passed to the function for ease of access.
