:func:`.engine_from_config` were not being parsed correctly;
these included ``pool_threadlocal`` and the psycopg2 argument
``use_native_unicode``. fixes #3435
- add legacy_schema_aliasing config parsing for mssql
- move use_native_unicode config arg to the psycopg2 dialect

``legacy_schema_aliasing`` which when set to False will disable a
very old and obsolete behavior, that of the compiler's
attempt to turn all schema-qualified table names into alias names,
to work around old and no longer locatable issues where SQL
server could not parse a multi-part identifier name in all
circumstances.   The behavior prevented more
sophisticated statements from working correctly, including those which
use hints, as well as CRUD statements that embed correlated SELECT
statements.  Rather than continue to repair the feature to work
with more complex statements, it's better to just disable it
as it should no longer be needed for any modern SQL server
version.  The flag defaults to True for the 1.0.x series, leaving
current behavior unchanged for this version series.  In the 1.1
series, it will default to False.  For the 1.0 series,
when not set to either value explicitly, a warning is emitted
when a schema-qualified table is first used in a statement, which
suggests that the flag be set to False for all modern SQL Server
versions.

the URL design a little simpler

:meth:`.URL.get_dialect` method will continue to return the
ultimate :class:`.Dialect` object when a dialect plugin is used,
without the need for the caller to be aware of the
:meth:`.Dialect.get_dialect_cls` method.

non-Integer column types, fixes #2075

as a result of the bugfix for :ticket:`3167`,
where attribute and validation events are no longer
called within the flush process.  The mutable
extension was relying upon this behavior in the case where a column
level Python-side default were responsible for generating the new value
on INSERT or UPDATE, or when a value were fetched from the RETURNING
clause for "eager defaults" mode.  The new value would not be subject
to any event when populated and the mutable extension could not
establish proper coercion or history listening.  A new event
:meth:`.InstanceEvents.refresh_flush` is added which the mutable
extension now makes use of for this use case.
fixes #3427
- Added new event :meth:`.InstanceEvents.refresh_flush`, invoked
when an INSERT or UPDATE level default value fetched via RETURNING
or Python-side default is invoked within the flush process.  This
is to provide a hook that is no longer present as a result of
:ticket:`3167`, where attribute and validation events are no longer
called within the flush process.
- Added a new semi-public method to :class:`.MutableBase`
:meth:`.MutableBase._get_listen_keys`.  Overriding this method
is needed in the case where a :class:`.MutableBase` subclass needs
events to propagate for attribute keys other than the key to which
the mutable type is associated with, when intercepting the
:meth:`.InstanceEvents.refresh` or
:meth:`.InstanceEvents.refresh_flush` events.  The current example of
this is composites using :class:`.MutableComposite`.

pep-249 exception names linked to exception classes of an entirely
different name, preventing SQLAlchemy's own exception wrapping from
wrapping the error appropriately.
The SQLAlchemy dialect in use needs to implement a new
accessor :attr:`.DefaultDialect.dbapi_exception_translation_map`
to support this feature; this is implemented now for the py-postgresql
dialect.
fixes #3421

rows failed to implement ``__slots__`` correctly such that it still
had a ``__dict__``.    This is resolved, but in the extremely
unlikely case someone was assigning values to the returned tuples,
that will no longer work.
fixes #3420

and the database can no longer be connected towards, that the checkout
handler failure is caught, the attempt to re-acquire the connection
also raises an exception, but the underlying connection record
is not immediately re-checked in before the exception is propagated
outwards, having the effect that the checked-out record does not close
itself until the stack trace it's associated with is garbage collected,
preventing that record from being used for a new checkout until we
leave the scope of the stack trace.   This can lead to confusion
in the specific case of when the number of current stack traces
in memory exceeds the number of connections the pool can return,
as the pool will instead begin to raise errors about no more checkouts
available, rather than attempting a connection again.   The fix
applies a checkin of the record before re-raising.
