executes a command

message mediator.message(name[, data][, options])

creates a new message option to dispatch

  console.log(message.options.message); // world!
});

mediator.on("sayHelloWorld", { hello: { message: "world!" }});

//executes hello with options world
mediator.execute(mediator.message("hello", null, { message: "world!" }));

//same as above command
mediator.execute("sayHelloWorld");
