Compares a name in question to a specified name separated into given and family.

    The name in question ``question_name`` can be of varying format, including
    "Kyle E. Niemeyer", "Kyle Niemeyer", "K. E. Niemeyer", "KE Niemeyer", and
    "K Niemeyer". Other possibilities include names with hyphens such as
    "Chih-Jen Sung", "C. J. Sung", "C-J Sung".

    Examples:
        >>> compare_name('Kyle', 'Niemeyer', 'Kyle E Niemeyer')
        True
        >>> compare_name('Chih-Jen', 'Sung', 'C-J Sung')
        True

    Args:
        given_name (`str`): Given (or first) name to be checked against.
        family_name (`str`): Family (or last) name to be checked against.
        question_name (`str`): The whole name in question.

    Returns:
        `bool`: The return value. True for successful comparison, False otherwise.
