I find, however, one feature lacking. In the old days of SuperMemo 7 (the Windows 3 version, which IMHO had the best UI in the history of SM), items could be marked with a special (customizable) string so that SM asked the user to /type in/ the answer, and checked whether the typed text was a substring of the actual answer. Based on that, it recommended a grade (passing 4 or failing 2, by default). Of course, the user could override the grade, and cheat by typing "the" or something like that;-), but it was nevertheless a great way to check whether I got the spelling right. I looked through org-drill docs and didn't find anything like that. Maybe someone did it for themselves already? If not, I'll be happy to code it. I assume that writing a suitable function in Elisp is a question of 15 minutes at most. I don't know, however, where exactly I should plug it. From a quick skim through org-drill.el, I assume that either org-drill-entry (less probable) or org-drill-present-.* (more probable) is the way to go. Am I right?
