An instructor frequently has to create sets of word problems for exams or home assignments. This entails two tasks: vary problems’ parts to make an assignment unique; and select a few problems from a larger set for assignment to an individual student. This [package](https://github.com/kagalenko-m-b/ProblemSet.jl.git) automates both tasks. I wrote it following the [discussion](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/do-i-need-a-macro-to-compile-a-list-of-functions/112540) of possible approaches; in the end, I decided to go with macro-based approach. The design of `@model` macro from the `DynamicPPL` package served as a base.

This relatively small package has already saved me quite a bit of repetitive work, so I am releasing it in the hope it will be useful to others. Criticisms and suggestions regarding the implementation and docs are welcome.
