OSID - osid.learning.ProficiencyNotificationSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.learning.ProficiencyNotificationSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Used By	`osid.learning.LearningManager`
Used By	`osid.learning.LearningProxyManager`
Description	This session defines methods to receive notifications on adds/changes to `Proficiencies`. in this `ObjectiveBank`. This also includes existing proficiencies that may appear or disappear due to changes in the `ObjectiveBank` hierarchy, This session is intended for consumers needing to synchronize their state with this service without the use of polling. Notifications are cancelled when this session is closed. The two views defined in this session correspond to the views in the `ProficiencyLookupSession`.
