webwork exercise examples

[Alex Jordan]

I have an issue with ORCCA that necessitates a feature request. However I'm not sure which of two feature requests it should be.

Currently, a webwork can only be put in an exercise. And there are two kinds of exercise: inline and sectional. In ORCCA, we use inline webwork exercises more as interactive examples. The reader should read them, try them, and read their solutions too.

So the dilemma is that we want inline exercise solutions to be visible, but not sectional exercise solutions. I am not aware that there is a flag for this.

I'm either requesting

1. that solutions can be set to show or not show for inline exercises separately from sectional exercises; or
   
2. that we allow webwork to be put in examples, not just exercises.

Thoughts?

I much prefer (1). A split between sectional/inline will be much more
consistent with existing options, and I would rather keep the WW "stuff" within
exercises.

Possible to add this in upcoming clean-up, or else it will be part of a later
refactor of "exercises" and "exercise".

Can you make an issue?
