- other cleanup
- don't need compat.decimal, that approach never panned out. hopefully
outside libs aren't pulling it in, they shouldn't be

- Fixed potential memory leak which could occur if an
arbitrary number of :class:`.sessionmaker` objects
were created.   The anonymous subclass created by
the sessionmaker, when dereferenced, would not be garbage
collected due to remaining class-level references from the
event package.  This issue also applies to any custom system
that made use of ad-hoc subclasses in conjunction with
an event dispatcher.  Also in 0.7.10. [ticket:2650]

- paths now store Mapper + MapperProperty now instead of string key,
so that the parent mapper for the property is known, supports same-named
properties on multiple subclasses
- the Mapper within the path is now always relevant to the property
to the right of it.  PathRegistry does the translation now, instead
of having all the outside users of PathRegistry worry about it,
to produce a path that is much more consistent.  Paths are now
consistent with mappings in all cases.  Special logic to get at
"with_polymorphic" structures and such added also.
- AliasedClass now has two modes, "use_mapper_path" and regular;
"use_mapper_path" is for all those situations where we put an AliasedClass
in for a plain class internally, and want it to "path" with the
plain mapper.
- The AliasedInsp is now the first class "entity" for an AliasedClass,
and is passed around internally and used as attr._parententity
and such.  it is the AliasedClass analogue for Mapper.

become an externally usable package but still remains within the main sqlalchemy parent package.
in this system, we use kind of an ugly hack to get the noseplugin imported outside of the
"sqlalchemy" package, while still making it available within sqlalchemy for usage by
third party libraries.

now accepts aliased() class constructs as well
as with_polymorphic constructs, and works with
query.join(), any(), has(), and also
eager loaders subqueryload(), joinedload(),
contains_eager()

- a rewrite of the query path system to use an
object based approach for more succinct usage.  the system
has been designed carefully to not add an excessive method overhead.
- [feature] select() features a correlate_except()
method, auto correlates all selectables except those
passed.   Is needed here for the updated any()/has()
functionality.
- remove some old cruft from LoaderStrategy, init(),debug_callable()
- use a namedtuple for _extended_entity_info.  This method should
become standard within the orm internals
- some tweaks to the memory profile tests, number of runs can
be customized to work around pysqlite's very annoying behavior
- try to simplify PropertyOption._get_paths(), rename to _process_paths(),
returns a single list now.  overall works more completely as was needed
for of_type() functionality

ORM, including the MutableType class as well
as the mutable=True flag on PickleType
and postgresql.ARRAY has been removed.
In-place mutations are detected by the ORM
using the sqlalchemy.ext.mutable extension,
introduced in 0.7.   The removal of MutableType
and associated constructs removes a great
deal of complexity from SQLAlchemy's internals.
The approach performed poorly as it would incur
a scan of the full contents of the Session
when in use. [ticket:2442]

  particular types of result fetches,
