I mean something like

<exercise level="graduate">
<para>Proof that the traveling salesman problem is NP-complete.</para>
</exercise>

Yes, that's exactly what I mean.

I use exercises very often in my documents, but I can't hardly believe that I 
will ever write something about a destructor in an OO language. 

Exercises occur much more frequently as a building block than descriptions of 
destructors., I think. That's why I was wondering why there is no special tag 
for it.
