I agree that this kind of simple thing looks like a better
idea. However, it would also be nice to be able to call it some name
where a person who encounters the software capability but doesn't yet
know what it's for will understand what it's for just from reading the
name. "Given" is simple and sounds clear, but it doesn't say who did the
giving so the clarity is over-rated. "CustomerInfoIGaveThem" is a bit
long. :) (and TheirRecordOfMe is hardly any better.) :)
