Detailed Description

This class prints a view of the question bank, including.

Some controls to allow users to to select what is displayed.
A list of questions as a table.
Further controls to do things with the questions.

This class gives a basic view, and provides plenty of hooks where subclasses can override parts of the display.

The list of questions presented as a table is generated by creating a list of core_question\bank\column objects, one for each 'column' to be displayed. These manage

outputting the contents of that column, given a $question object, but also
generating the right fragments of SQL to ensure the necessary data is present, and sorted in the right order.
outputting table headers.
