/**
* Sends a prompt to the user and optionally waits for a response.
*
* The ask method allows for collecting input using either speech
* recognition or DTMF (also known as Touch Tone). You can either
* pass in a fully-formed Ask object or a string to use as the
* prompt and an array of parameters.
*
* The available parameters are
* - choices: (string) The grammar to use in recognizing and validating input
* - as: (string) an SSML type hinting how to say the TTS
* - event: (string) only say this on certain events (i.e. no input)
* - voice: (string) Override the default TTS voice
* - attempts: (int) How many times the caller can attempt input before
* an error is thrown
* - bargein: (bool) Should the user be allowed to barge in before TTS is complete?
* - minConfidence: (int) How confident should Tropo be in a speech reco match?
* - name: (string) identifies the return value of an ask, so you know the context for
* the returned information. As an example, if you asked the user for their favorite
* color, the name value would be "color" while the returned value might be "blue".
* - required: (bool) Is input required here?
* - timeout: (float) How long (in seconds) should Tropo wait for input?
* - mode: (string) Only applies to the voice channel and can be either 'speech', 'dtmf', or 'both'.
* - terminator: (string) This is the touch-tone key (also known as "DTMF digit") that indicates the end of input.
*
* @param string|Ask $ask
* @param array $params
* @see https://www.tropo.com/docs/webapi/ask.htm
