Question Definition
*******************

The **Question__c** object type represents a Question that can be queried to
the end user anytime on a Script execution.

As an independent structure, the mere existance of a Question Definition does
not imply its use. Rather, a question is asked only when it is assigned into
a Script definition (under Script Fragment).
