OSID - osid.voting.rules.RaceConstrainerSmartPollsSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.voting.rules.RaceConstrainerSmartPollsSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Description	This session manages queries and sequencing to create "smart" dynamic polls. a `RaceConstrainerQuery` can be retrieved from this session and mapped to this `Polls` to create a virtual collection of race constrainers.

This `Polls` has a default query that matches any race constrainer and a default search order that specifies no sequencing. The queries may be examined using a `RaceConstrainerQueryInspector.` The query may be modified by converting the inspector back to a `RaceConstrainerQuery.`
