Description	This session manages queries and sequencing to create "smart" dynamic catalogs. A `DispatchConstrainerEnablerQuery` can be retrieved from this session and mapped to this `Publisher` to create a virtual collection of `DispatchConstrainerEnablers` .

This `Publisher` has a default query that matches any dispatch constrainer enabler and a default search order that specifies no sequencing. The queries may be examined using a `DispatchConstrainerEnablerQueryInspector` . The query may be modified by converting the inspector back to a `DispatchConstrainerEnablerQuery` .
