QueryTopicclass
A QueryTopic is a kind of SpecialTopic that extends the range of questions that the player (character) can ask an NPC from ASK ABOUT so-and-so to ASK WHO/WHAT/WHY/WHERE/WHETHER/IF/HOW so-and-so. The type of question to be matched (who/what/why/when etc.) needs to be defined on a QueryTopic’s qType property (so that it can be matched by the QueryTopic’s grammar). The remainder of the question is the Topic a particular QueryTopic matches.
