17BII, 27S: doing TVM calculations inside solver equations

The main issue would be trying to solve for n, since the TVM formula uses USPV(i%:n) and SPPV(i%:n) internally. I'm thinking it's probably more trouble than it's worth to make this work on a 27S, and I'm better off sticking to true programmable financial calculators - like my DM42 or Casio fc-200 - for this kind of interest savings problem.
