Used By	`osid.assessment.AssessmentProxyManager`
Description	This session manages queries and sequencing to create "smart" dynamic catalogs.

The assessments may be sequenced using the `AssessmentSearchOrder` from this session. This `Bank` has a default query that matches any assessment and a default search order that specifies no sequencing. The queries may be examined using an `AssessmentQueryInspector`. The query may be modified by converting the inspector back to an `AssessmentQuery`.
