What you just described is namespacing. It's been a thing in software for decades and depending on the language not doing so can be anything from the norm to a reason to have rotten tomatoes thrown at you. Personally I'm on the side of "always namespace everything", but that's probably just my Lua bias.

Oh cool, I am a little bit of a newb to programming still, but I love sharing what I learn. I knew people in my sphere of influence who did not know such things and thought I should share how to do it in JavaScript.

It's definitely not something I see often in the javascript world, which, I assume, is partly due to how its use slowly shifted from very small scripts to add simple interactivity to complete applications that run entirely in javascript.
