Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Used By	`osid.course.registration.CourseRegistrationManager`
Used By	`osid.course.registration.CourseRegistrationProxyManager`
Description	This session manages queries and sequencing to create "smart" dynamic catalogs. A `RegistrationTarget` Query can be retrieved from this session and mapped to this `CourseCatalog` to create a virtual collection of `RegistrationTar` gets. The registration targets may be sequenced using the `RegistrationTargetSearch` Order from this session. This `CourseCatalog` has a default query that matches any registration target and a default search order that specifies no sequencing. The queries may be examined using a `RegistrationTargetQueryInspe` ctor. The query may be modified by converting the inspector back to a `RegistrationTargetQuery`.
