OSID - osid.assessment.authoring.SequenceRuleSmartBankSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.assessment.authoring.SequenceRuleSmartBankSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Used By	`osid.assessment.authoring.AssessmentAuthoringManager`
Used By	`osid.assessment.authoring.AssessmentAuthoringProxyManager`
Description	This session manages queries and sequencing to create "smart" dynamic bank. a `SequenceRuleQuery` can be retrieved from this session and mapped to this `Bank` to create a virtual collection of sequence rules. The sequence rule may be sequenced using the `SequenceRuleSearchOrder` from this session. This `Bank` has a default query that matches any sequence rule and a default search order that specifies no sequencing. The queries may be examined using a `SequenceRuleQueryInspector`. The query may be modified by converting the inspector back to a `SequenceRuleQuery`.
