Aiken format - a simple format for creating multiple choice questions (with
only one correct choice, and no feedback).

The format looks like this:

Question text
A) Choice #1
B) Choice #2
C) Choice #3
D) Choice #4
ANSWER: B

That is,
+ question text all one one line.
+ then a number of choices, one to a line. Each line must comprise a letter,
then ')' or '.', then a space, then the choice text.
+ Then a line of the form 'ANSWER: X' to indicate the correct answer.

Be sure to word "All of the above" type choices like "All of these" in
case choices are being shuffled.
