OSID - osid.grading.GradeSystemSmartGradebookSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.grading.GradeSystemSmartGradebookSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Description	This session manages queries and sequencing to create "smart" dynamic catalogs. A `GradeSystemQuery` can be retrieved from this session and mapped to this `Gradebook` to create a virtual collection of `GradeSystems.` The entries may be sequenced using the `GradeSystemSearchOrder` from this session. This `Gradebook` has a default query that matches any grade system and a default search order that specifies no sequencing. The queries may be examined using a `GradeSystemQueryInspector.` The query may be modified by converting the inspector back to a `GradeSystemQuery.`
