Subject: Re: [QUIZ] Bracket Packing (#78)

Surely that isn't possible, some combinations could have more than one possible
correction, eg:

[{BB] => [{B}B]
or
[{BB] => [{BB}]
or even,
[{BB] => [{}BB]
or even, (tho presumably this is invalid - some sort of black hole packaging):
[{BB]}

Perhaps the program should present the possible options and ask which is wanted?
