``__repr__()``, particularly with regards to the MySQL integer/numeric/
character types which feature a wide variety of keyword arguments.
The ``__repr__()`` is important for use with Alembic autogenerate
for when Python code is rendered in a migration script.

so that __repr__() is maintained (for alembic tests)

Python ``Decimal`` via string is now configurable.  The
flag ``decimal_return_scale`` is now supported by all :class:`.Numeric`
and :class:`.Float` types, which will ensure this many digits are taken
from the native floating point value when it is converted to string.
If not present, the type will make use of the value of ``.scale``, if
the type supports this setting and it is non-None.  Otherwise the original
default length of 10 is used. [ticket:2867]

this complements the work in :ticket:`2183` where we begin to support
reflection of foreign key options such as ON UPDATE/ON DELETE
cascade. [ticket:2839]

of :class:`.ForeignKeyConstraint` is silently ignored on the MySQL
backend, will be reverted as of 0.9; this keyword will now render again, raising
errors on MySQL as it is not understood - the same behavior will also
apply to the ``initially`` keyword.  In 0.8, the keywords will remain
ignored but a warning is emitted.   Additionally, the ``match`` keyword
now raises a :class:`.CompileError` on 0.9 and emits a warning on 0.8;
this keyword is not only silently ignored by MySQL but also breaks
the ON UPDATE/ON DELETE options.

To use a :class:`.ForeignKeyConstraint`
that does not render or renders differently on MySQL, use a custom
compilation option.  An example of this usage has been added to the
documentation, see :ref:`mysql_foreign_keys`.
