OSID - osid.provisioning.rules.BrokerConstrainerEnablerSmartDistributorSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.provisioning.rules.BrokerConstrainerEnablerSmartDistributorSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Description	This session manages queries and sequencing to create "smart" dynamic distributors. A `BrokerConstrainerEnablerQuery` can be retrieved from this session and mapped to this `Distributor` to create a virtual collection of broker constrainer enablers. The broker constrainer enablers may be sequenced using the `BrokerConstrainerEnablerSearchOrder` from this session. This `Distributor` has a default query that matches any broker constrainer enabler and a default search order that specifies no sequencing. The queries may be examined using a `BrokerConstrainerEnablerQueryInspector.` The query may be modified by converting the inspector back to a `BrokerConstrainerEnablerQuery.`
