Foregone exercises

Exercise	Reason
grains	jq uses IEEE 754 floats to represent numbers: only 53 bits of precision
allergies	no bitwise operators
secret-handshake	"
variable-length-quantity	"
ledger	I hate creating refactoring exercises
markdown	"
tree-building	"
dnd-character	no builtin randomness functionality
robot-name	"
bank-account	no parallelism/concurrency
parallel-letter-frequency	"
hangman	no functional reactive programming
paasio	no IO functions

bitwise operations: they can be implemented, but that's too much I think. Unless we provide it as a library to include ...

JBOL includes an implementation of pseudo-random numbers.

How to port an exercise

Using square-root as an example:

fork this repo
create a branch

copy an existing exercise

cp -r ./exercises/practice{reverse-string,square-root}

edit the exercise config file to set the right file names: ./exercises/practice/square-root/.meta/config.json
generate the test script
```
bin/generate_tests square-root
```
If this creates a dubious-looking test suite, you may need to create it manually (the test generator currently does not handle exercises where there are nested "cases" objects in the problem-specifications canonical-data.json file).
implement the example solution ./exercises/practice/square-root/.meta/example.jq

test with

bin/validate_one_exercise ./exercises/practice/square-root

when the tests pass, add the exercise to config.json in the .exercises.practice array: the list of practice exercises is sorted by difficulty.

sync the exercise with problem-specifications:

bin/configlet sync -e square-root --docs --update
bin/configlet sync -e square-root --metadata --update
bin/configlet sync -e square-root --tests --update
bin/configlet lint

commit, push and create a PR.
