Creates the question object #188

Closed jwdebelius closed 8 years ago

First of the data dictionary objects referenced in #186.

The idea of the question object is to create a modular plug in system to facilitate analysis by other groups. Questions are prepopulated with features of the data including data type, any remapping functions which are used, and handy functions associated with common data types. The collection of objects can then be combined into a dictionary, and the dictionary be called as an underlying API for a set of easy, pretty functions.

This is a base class object for the question object.

Bumping this, because Im hoping to get a bunch of stuff in and this is necessary for all the question objects...
