These are now on branch qqz.2020.03.22a, which is on top of the earlier
qqz.2020.03.17a.

I do like the comma-separated list of quick-quiz IDs for the -noqq
variant, and marking a few of the quizzes as "essential" makes sense.

I believe that the churn should be fine in this case.  This does after
all at least partially address a long-standing complaint from a small
but noisy group of people.  ;-)

Should the "hb" target also put boxes around the quick quizzes?
(I freely confess to having lost track of what most of the targets do!)

							Thanx, Paul
