I've noticed that, about half of the time, ProductCart's JavaScript code, specifically the jQuery stuff, uses "$pc" as an alias for jQuery's "$".

What's the reason for this abstraction? It seems to me like just sticking with jQuery's "$" would work fine in most of these cases, and using "$pc" seems to make it harder to work with the jQuery code.

I've tried looking through (literally all of) the various JS files within ProductCart to determine the reason for this, but have been unable to figure it out. Hopefully someone can shed some light on this curiosity.
