The Explanation

Okay, I said I wasn't going to make a click handler library function, but, in the previous examples, it does become pretty clear that I'm going to somewhat frequently just want to take a button and make it do something when it's clicked. So I've gone ahead and made a makeDo() function that takes a selector (the button element) and a callback function and then handles the addEventListener bit for us. For good measure it returns the button element, in case we happen to need it later.

To be clear, for saving the sum total of maybe one line of code per usage, I don't know that I actually prefer this. Or that I even like it. But I kind of felt like I should, in the interest of whatever this whole experiment is.
