TopicActionclass
An action with a topic phrase as its only object, such as “think about <topic>”.
The grammar rules that produce these actions must set topicMatch to the topic match tree.
Because we don’t have any actual resolved objects, we’re based on IAction. Subclasses that implement particular topic actions should override execAction() to carry out the action; this method can call the getTopic() method of self to get a string giving the topic.
