The error message changed to:

`'<' not supported between instances of 'foo' and 'bar'`

function; the caller still passes in the "wrapper"
- move tests for wrap_callable() to be generic util tests
- changelog for pullreq github:204

didn't implement ``__slots__``, and therefore meant all subclasses
of that class didn't either, negating the rationale for ``__slots__``
to be in use.  Didn't cause any issue except on IronPython
which apparently does not implement ``__slots__`` behavior compatibly
with cPython.
Fixes #3494

that a Python descriptor is no longer used; repairs inspectability
of these methods including support for Sphinx documentation.

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

to start up listener collections; this pulls the overhead off of construction
and makes performance much like the descriptor version, while still allowing
slots.   Fix up some profiles.

allowing us to move to __slots__

improved in conjunction with loader directives such as
:func:`.joinedload` and :func:`.contains_eager` such that if
two :meth:`.PropComparator.of_type` modifiers of the same
base type/path are encountered, they will be joined together
into a single "polymorphic" entity, rather than replacing
the entity of type A with the one of type B.  E.g.
a joinedload of ``A.b.of_type(BSub1)->BSub1.c`` combined with
joinedload of ``A.b.of_type(BSub2)->BSub2.c`` will create a
single joinedload of ``A.b.of_type((BSub1, BSub2)) -> BSub1.c, BSub2.c``,
without the need for the ``with_polymorphic`` to be explicit
in the query.

and parameters are not displayed if None, reducing confusion for
error messages that weren't related to a statement.  The full
module and classname for the DBAPI-level exception is displayed,
making it clear that this is a wrapped DBAPI exception.  The
statement and parameters themselves are bounded within a bracketed
sections to better isolate them from the error message and from
each other.
