Write a Python program that prompts the user to input a list of strings, and then returns the longest common suffix of the strings in the list. Your program should handle an arbitrary number of strings, and should output "None" if there is no common suffix. Furthermore, your code should not rely on any external libraries or modules, and should utilize functions and control structures appropriately. Make sure to use descriptive variable names and include comments where appropriate. Lastly, test your program with at least three different test cases to ensure it functions correctly.

```

This program uses a divide-and-conquer approach to find the longest common suffix of a list of strings. It sorts the list of strings in reverse alphabetical order and iterates over each string, checking if it contains any suffixes remaining from previously compared strings. If the current string has a longer suffix, it updates the longest suffix. Otherwise, it returns None.

The main function prompts the user to input a list of strings, and then calls the main function. It uses the input function to read the strings from the user, and split them by spaces. The main function then calls the longest_common_suffix function to find the longest common suffix of the list of strings. Finally, it prints the result.

To test the program, try entering different lists of strings, such as ["hello", "world", "foobar"], ["hello", "earth", "foobar"], and ["apple", "orange", "boy", "dog"]. The longest common suffix for the first two lists is "rld", and for the third list it is "og".
