/**
 * Analysis for possible responses for parts of a question. It is up to a question type designer to decide on how many parts their
 * question has. See {@link \question_type::get_possible_responses()} and sub classes where the sub parts and response classes are
 * defined.
 *
 * A sub part might represent a sub question embedded in the question for example in a matching question there are
 * several sub parts. A numeric question with a unit might be divided into two sub parts for the purposes of response analysis
 * or the question type designer might decide to treat the answer, both the numeric and unit part,
 * as a whole for the purposes of response analysis.
 *
 * - There is a separate data structure for each question or sub question's analysis
 * {@link \core_question\statistics\responses\analysis_for_question}
 * or {@link \core_question\statistics\responses\analysis_for_question_all_tries}.
 * - There are separate analysis for each variant in this top level instance.
 * - Then there are class instances representing the analysis of each of the sub parts of each variant of the question.
 * {@link \core_question\statistics\responses\analysis_for_subpart}.
 * - Then within the sub part analysis there are response class analysis
 * {@link \core_question\statistics\responses\analysis_for_class}.
 * - Then within each class analysis there are analysis for each actual response
 * {@link \core_question\statistics\responses\analysis_for_actual_response}.
