/**
 * This is the base class for Moodle question types.
 *
 * There are detailed comments on each method, explaining what the method is
 * for, and the circumstances under which you might need to override it.
 *
 * Note: the questiontype API should NOT be considered stable yet. Very few
 * question types have been produced yet, so we do not yet know all the places
 * where the current API is insufficient. I would rather learn from the
 * experiences of the first few question type implementors, and improve the
 * interface to meet their needs, rather the freeze the API prematurely and
 * condem everyone to working round a clunky interface for ever afterwards.
