autoNameOVERRIDDENactor.t[4961]
For a SpeciallTopic make constructing a name property automatically the default.

rexactor.t[4941]
A Regular expression pattern to look for the kinds of characters we'd expect to find in our matchPattern property if it actually represents a regular expression for this TopicEntry to match. We use this to help determine whether the matchPattern property contains a regex to match or the vocab of a Topic object to create on the fly.

If we want this SpecialTopic also to match an TELL ABOUT command, define the askMatchObj to hold the topic or list of topics that said TELL ABOUT command should match here.
