Used By	`osid.grading.GradingManager`
Used By	`osid.grading.GradingProxyManager`
Description	This session manages queries and sequencing to create "smart" dynamic catalogs. A `GradeEntryQuery` can be retrieved from this session and mapped to this `Gradebook` to create a virtual collection of `GradeEntries`. The entries may be sequenced using the `GradeEntrySearchOrder` from this session. This `Gradebook` has a default query that matches any grade entry and a default search order that specifies no sequencing. The queries may be examined using a `GradeEntryQueryInspector`. The query may be modified by converting the inspector back to a `GradeEntryQuery`.
