ConvTopicTAction class | action.t[6072]

"Conversation" TopicTAction. Many TopicTAction verbs involve conversation with an actor, who's specified as the direct object: ASK <actor> ABOUT <topic>, TELL <actor> ABOUT <topic>, ASK <actor> FOR <topic>. For these common cases, the most likely default direct object is the last interlocutor of the actor performing the command - that is, ASK ABOUT BOOK should by default be directed to whomever we were speaking to last.

This subclass is suitable for such verbs. When asked for a default direct object, we'll check for a current interlocutor, and use it as the default if available. If no interlocutor is available, we'll inherit the standard default handling.
