There is no `request.post_vars`, and thus no
`request.post_vars.stripeToken`, when the controller the form was submitted
to executes.
I cannot see any such hidden field in the DOM, but there not being one
would explain why it isn't getting back to me.
Further poking around, I found a section (not displayed) of class
stripeErrorMessage, the contents of which says
Sorry, there was a problem loading Checkout.
If this persists, please try a different browser.
But I'm thinking that is there to be displayed IF there is a problem, as
the form comes up fine and responds to the credit card number appropriately
(except for giving me back the token).
