instead of relying upon various ``quote=True`` flags being passed around,
these flags are converted into rich string objects with quoting information
included at the point at which they are passed to common schema constructs
like :class:`.Table`, :class:`.Column`, etc.   This solves the issue
of various methods that don't correctly honor the "quote" flag such
as :meth:`.Engine.has_table` and related methods.  The :class:`.quoted_name`
object is a string subclass that can also be used explicitly if needed;
the object will hold onto the quoting preferences passed and will
also bypass the "name normalization" performed by dialects that
standardize on uppercase symbols, such as Oracle, Firebird and DB2.
The upshot is that the "uppercase" backends can now work with force-quoted
names, such as lowercase-quoted names and new reserved words.

- rework the event system so that event modules load after their
targets, dependencies are reversed
- create an improved strategy lookup system for the ORM
- rework the ORM to have very few import cycles
- move out "importlater" to just util.dependency
- other tricks to cross-populate modules in as clear a way as possible

by name in a string argument used with ``order_by``,
``primaryjoin``, or similar in :func:`.relationship`,
in addition to column-bound attributes. [ticket:2761]

- went through examples/ and cleaned out excess list() calls

where since it considers the current class' ``__table__``, was
sensitive to when it was called.  This is 0.7's behavior also,
but in 0.7 things tended to "work out" within events like
``__mapper_args__()``.  :func:`.has_inherited_table` now only
considers superclasses, so should return the same answer
regarding the current class no matter when it's called
(obviously assuming the state of the superclass).
[ticket:2656]

store ModuleMarkers for multiple roots, one for each token in a
module path.  this allows partial path resolution.
- docs to this effect

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.
