+The \opt{usemcfi} option inputs special code for creating a MC/math fill-in
+question, a type of question suggested to me by Stefka K.\ of Bulgaria. In
+this MCFI-type question, a question is posed with a multiple of choices
+offered; if the correct choice is not present, the student can enter his/her
+response in a text field (\cs{RespBoxMath}).
