Tracking: Missing exercises from problem specifications

Directly from configlet info.

There are 28 non-deprecated exercises in exercism/problem-specifications that are both unimplemented and not in the track config exercises.foregone array:

With canonical data:

  • [ ] bottle-song
  • [ ] complex-numbers
  • [ ] custom-set
  • [ ] dominoes
  • [ ] forth
  • [ ] game-of-life
  • [ ] go-counting
  • [ ] grep
  • [ ] ledger
  • [ ] pov
  • [ ] pythagorean-triplet
  • [ ] rational-numbers
  • [ ] react
  • [ ] rectangles
  • [ ] rest-api
  • [ ] saddle-points
  • [ ] satellite
  • [ ] sgf-parsing
  • [ ] square-root
  • [ ] word-search
  • [ ] zipper

Without canonical data:

I suggest to add these to the forgone exercises:

  • the unimplemented sing-song exercises like bottle-song
  • math-centric exercises like complex-numbers, rational-numbers, Pythagorean-triplet, square-root -- these are niche topics which exclude a lot of users if you aren't already familiar with these math concepts.
  • rest-api -- very old exercise, poorly defined
  • zipper -- doesn't make very much sense in a non-functional language.

Wauw, I didn't expect it to be this many exercises missing, then there is still work to do :) I Only had the list from #48in24 in mind.

Would it be possible to add a priority to them? High, Medium, Low would be enough I think.

I'm too busy to look at them in more detail at the moment. But that was my plan. And also mark those as foregone that cannot or should not be implemented.
