Enhancement: allow multiple occurences of the same cloze deletion item

[l3kn]

This sounds like an useful feature!

Org-fc assumes there's only one cloze "hole" per ID (e.g. @0, @1), collects a list of all holes in a card and then uses the position of the current hole in this list to determine which parts of the card should be hidden.

Allowing multiple holes with the same ID leads to problems with the "enumeration" cloze card type,
e.g. when I add a new first item later (so it has a higher id), during a reviewing of @2, holes @0 and @1
should be hidden, because they appear later in the card

- {{foo}@2}
- {{bar}@0}
- {{baz}@1}

Do you know if Anki has a similar card type? If so, how does it deal with this issue?

As far as I know, Anki (core) only has one type of cloze deletion cards, the standard 'deletion one.
I did not investigate, but if the 'enumeration type exists, it is probably only through a plugin.

I don't think that allowing more than one hole per ID for the enumeration type is necessary (or even useful, btw). As you explain, it leads to problems rather than helping in any way.

But as a first step, allowing more than one hole per ID for the standard cloze 'deletion (and maybe the 'single) type would be more than enough.

I think it would cover 90% of the use cases -- at least for me :)
