var Question = require('prompt-question');
var question = new Question('color', 'What is favorite color?');
```

Any of the following signatures may be used:

```js
var question = new Question('color'); // sets message as the same value as `name`
var question = new Question('color', 'What is favorite color?');

var question = new Question({name: 'color', message: 'What is favorite color?'});
var question = new Question({name: 'color'});
```
