and :meth:`.AttributeEvents.dispose_collection`, which track when
a collection is first associated with an instance and when it is
replaced.  These handlers supersede the :meth:`.collection.linker`
annotation. The old hook remains supported through an event adapter.

when we do a get; we return the None as always but we leave the dict blank
and the loader callable still in place.  The case for this implicit get on a pending object is not
super common and there really should be no change in state at all when this
operation proceeds.   This change is more dramatic as it reverses
a behavior SQLA has had since the first release.

of work such that loading for related many-to-one objects is slightly
more aggressive, in the case of a graph of self-referential objects
that are to be deleted; the load of related objects is to help
determine the correct order for deletion if passive_deletes is
not set.
- revert the changes to test_delete_unloaded_m2o, these deletes do in fact
need to occur in the order of the two child objects first.

implicitly initialized to None via first access; this action,
which has always resulted in a population of the attribute,
now emits an attribute event just like any other attribute set
operation and generates the same kind of history as one.  Additionally,
many mapper internal operations will no longer implicitly generate
these "None" values when various never-set attributes are checked.
These are subtle behavioral fixes to attribute mechanics which provide
a better solution to the problem of :ticket:`3060`, which also
involves recognition of attributes explicitly set to ``None``
vs. attributes that were never set.
fixes #3061

scenario, where an INSERT/DELETE can be turned into an UPDATE.
In this situation, a many-to-one relationship set to None, or
in some cases a scalar attribute set to None, may not be detected
as a net change in value, and therefore the UPDATE would not reset
what was on the previous row.   This is due to some as-yet
unresovled side effects of the way attribute history works in terms
of implicitly assuming None isn't really a "change" for a previously
un-set attribute.  See also :ticket:`3061`. fixes #3060
