Fixes exercism#127 This commit follows the problem order I suggested in exercism#127, with one exception. I've put sublist ahead of allergies. Both use enum, but the enums in allergies can be more of a hassle, as evidenced by all of the ways I've seen students implement them. Sublist does have the disadvantage of also requiring a solution that is generic over multiple types. But I think the best thing to do is keep an eye on students that reach this part of the track. Or the later introduction of new exercises could improve this flow.

#127 has had this proposed solution for a while, and there haven't been any complaints. So I plan on merging this PR on Friday, June 3 unless I hear otherwise. And when I do.... 🎆 🎉 🎈 |

I think this looks great! I think you're right that we might need an extra exercise that helps introduce some of the enum stuff earlier than sublist and allergies. |
