OSID - osid.authorization.QualifierSmartVaultSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.authorization.QualifierSmartVaultSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Used By	`osid.authorization.AuthorizationManager`
Used By	`osid.authorization.AuthorizationProxyManager`
Description	This session manages queries and sequencing to create "smart" dynamic catalogs. A `QualifierQuery` can be retrieved from this session and mapped to this `Vault` to create a virtual collection of `Qualifiers`. The qualifiers may be sequenced using the `QualifierSearchOrder` from this session. This `Vault` has a default query that matches any qualifier and a default search order that specifies no sequencing. The queries may be examined using a `QualifierQueryInspector`. The query may be modified by converting the inspector back to a `QualifierQuery`.
