"propagate" flags could potentially be mis-configured in some
"unmapped base class" configurations.  Also in 0.8.3.

when loading mapped entities.   The function overhead of applying
a per-object deferred callable to an instance at load time was
significantly higher than that of just loading the data from the row
(note that ``defer()`` is meant to reduce DB/network overhead, not
necessarily function call count); the function call overhead is now
less than that of loading data from the column in all cases.  There
is also a reduction in the number of "lazy callable" objects created
per load from N (total deferred values in the result) to 1 (total
number of deferred cols).

with @_legacy_signature, will inspect incoming listener functions
to see if they match an older signature, will wrap into a newer sig
- add an event listen argument named=True, will send all args as
kw args so that event listeners can be written with **kw, any combination
of names
- add a doc system to events that writes out the various calling styles
for a given event, produces deprecation messages automatically.
a little concerned that it's a bit verbose but will look at it up
on RTD for awhile to get a feel.
- change the calling signature for bulk update/delete events - we have
the BulkUD object right there, and there's at least six or seven things
people might want to see, so just send the whole BulkUD in

:meth:`.Insert.from_select`.  Given a list of columns and
a selectable, renders ``INSERT INTO (table) (columns) SELECT ..``.
While this feature is highlighted as part of 0.9 it is also
backported to 0.8.3. [ticket:722]
- The :func:`.update`, :func:`.insert`, and :func:`.delete` constructs
will now interpret ORM entities as FROM clauses to be operated upon,
in the same way that select() already does.  Also in 0.8.3.

when an object we moved from "persistent" to "pending"
using the :func:`.make_transient` function, for operations
involving collection-based backrefs.

adapter to an aliased-mapped, non-polymorphic selectable that prevented us from referring
directly to that selectable.

- add support for correlations to propagate all the way in; because
correlations require context now, need to make sure a select enclosure
of any level takes effect any number of levels deep.
- fix what we said correlate_except() was supposed to do when we first
released #2668 - "the FROM clause is left intact if the correlated SELECT
is not used in the context of an enclosing SELECT..." - it was not
considering the "existing_froms" collection at all, and prohibited
additional FROMs from being placed in an any() or has().
- add test for multilevel any()
- lots of docs, including glossary entries as we really need to define
"WHERE clause", "columns clause" etc. so that we can explain correlation better
- based on the insight that a SELECT can correlate anything that ultimately
came from an enclosing SELECT that links to this one via WHERE/columns/HAVING/ORDER BY,
have the compiler keep track of the FROM lists that correspond in this way,
link it to the asfrom flag, so that we send to _get_display_froms() the exact
list of candidate FROMs to correlate.  no longer need any asfrom logic in the
Select() itself
- preserve 0.8.1's behavior for correlation when no correlate options are given, not
to mention 0.7 and prior's behavior of not propagating implicit correlation more than one level..
this is to reduce surprises/hard-to-debug situations when a user isn't trying
to correlate anything.
