Tracking: Missing exercises from problem specifications

[mk-mxp]

Directly from configlet info (updated 2026-01-10).

There are 35 non-deprecated exercises in exercism/problem-specifications that are both unimplemented and not in the track config exercises.foregone array:

With canonical data:

• baffling-birthdays
• bottle-song
• camicia
• complex-numbers
• custom-set
• dominoes
• forth
• game-of-life
• go-counting
• grep
• intergalactic-transmission
• ledger
• piecing-it-together
• pov
• pythagorean-triplet
• rational-numbers
• react
• rectangles
• relative-distance
• rest-api
• saddle-points
• satellite
• sgf-parsing
• split-second-stopwatch
• square-root
• swift-scheduling
• word-search
• zipper

Without canonical data:

• dot-dsl
• error-handling
• hangman
• lens-person
• paasio
• simple-linked-list
• tree-building

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.
