otherwise render a SQL NULL column value, rather than a JSON-encoded
``'null'``.  To support this case, changes are as follows:

* The value :func:`.null` can now be specified, which will always
  result in a NULL value resulting in the statement.

* A new parameter :paramref:`.JSON.none_as_null` is added, which
  when True indicates that the Python ``None`` value should be
  peristed as SQL NULL, rather than JSON-encoded ``'null'``.

Retrival of NULL as None is also repaired for DBAPIs other than
psycopg2, namely pg8000.

events from firing for those statements which it uses internally
to detect if a table exists or not.   This is achieved using an
execution option ``skip_user_error_events`` that disables the handle
error event for the scope of that execution.   In this way, user code
that rewrites exceptions doesn't need to worry about the MySQL
dialect or other dialects that occasionally need to catch
SQLAlchemy specific exceptions.

e.g. the ``func`` construct.  Previously, behavior for this method
was undefined.  The current behavior mimics that of pre-0.9.4,
which is that the function is turned into a single-column FROM
clause with the given alias name, where the column itself is
anonymously named.
