Compute the value of a principal & annual deposits at a compound interest over a number of years
Allows you to determine the final value of an initial principal (with optional
periodic deposits), over a number of years (yrs) at a given rate of interest.
Principal and deposits are optional. You control compounding periods each year (n) and whether deposits occur at the beginning or end of the year.
The function outputs a nice table of annual returns, formats the total using a user-settable currency symbol. Can also report using a web table.

)| principal | The initial investment at time 0. | 
| deposits | Optional periodic additional investment each year. | 
| inflate | How much to inflate deposits over time (default = 0) | 
| interest | Annual interest rate (default = .05) | 
| yrs | Duration of the investment (default = 10). | 
| final | if set (default = NULL), returns the rate required to turn principal into final after yrs (principal defaults to 1) | 
| n | Compounding intervals per year (default = 12 (monthly), 365 for daily) | 
| when | Deposits made at the "beginning" (of each year) or "end" | 
| symbol | Currency symbol to embed in the result. | 
| largest_with_cents | Default = 0 | 
| baseYear | Default = current year (for table row labels) | 
| table | Whether to print a table of annual returns (default TRUE) | 
| report | "markdown" or "html", |
