Summary0005980: consider renaming "payback" to "recoup"
DescriptionThe name "payback" is easily confused with "refund", very close to "pay", and it doesn't really describe well what the operation does.

It is also easy to confuse with "return to own bank account", since it is "paying back Taler coins" to yourself.

The dictionary definition for "recoup" is:

  "reimburse or compensate (someone) for money spent or lost."

which perfectly fits what "payback" is supposed to do.

I'm OK with changing this. Needs to be a coordinated effort, but the actual change is trivial. I assume you just assigned to me to get my feedback? Let me know if you want my actual help with the global search-and-replace ;-)

I believe this has been completed everywhere.
