OSID - osid.workflow.rules.StepConstrainerSmartOfficeSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.workflow.rules.StepConstrainerSmartOfficeSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Description	This session manages queries and sequencing to create "smart" dynamic office. a `StepConstrainerQuery` can be retrieved from this session and mapped to this `Office` to create a virtual collection of step constrainers. The step constrainer may be sequenced using the `StepConstrainerSearchOrder` from this session. This `Office` has a default query that matches any step constrainer and a default search order that specifies no sequencing. The queries may be examined using a `StepConstrainerQueryInspector.` The query may be modified by converting the inspector back to a `StepConstrainerQuery.`
