Used By	`osid.provisioning.rules.ProvisioningRulesProxyManager`
Description	This session manages queries and sequencing to create "smart" dynamic catalogs. A `ProvisionableEnablerQuery` can be retrieved from this session and mapped to this `Distributor` to create a virtual collection of `ProvisionableEnablers` . The provisionable enablers may be sequenced using the `ProvisionableEnablerSearchOrder` from this session. This `Distributor` has a default query that matches any provisionable enabler and a default search order that specifies no sequencing. The queries may be examined using a `ProvisionableEnablerQueryInspector` . The query may be modified by converting the inspector back to a `ProvisionableEnablerQuery` .
