An action with a literal phrase as its only object, such as "say <any text>". We'll accept anything as the literal phrase - a number, a quoted string, or arbitrary words - and treat them all simply as text.

The grammar rules that produce these actions must set literalMatch to the literal phrase's match tree.

Because we don't have any actual resolved objects, we're based on IAction. Subclasses that implement particular literal actions should override execAction() to carry out the action; this method can call the getLiteral() method of self to get a string giving the literal text.

Modified in en_us.t[8985]:
English-specific additions for verbs taking a literal phrase as the sole object.
