Description	This session manages queries and sequencing to create "smart" dynamic catalogs. A `CourseRegistration` Query can be retrieved from this session and mapped to this `CourseCatalog` to create a virtual collection of `CourseRegistrat` ions. The course registrations may be sequenced using the `CourseRegistrationSearch` Order from this session. This `CourseCatalog` has a default query that matches any course registration and a default search order that specifies no sequencing. The queries may be examined using a `CourseRegistrationQueryInspe` ctor. The query may be modified by converting the inspector back to a `CourseRegistrationQuery`.
