calling ``MyClass.attribute`` will not require that the configure
mappers step has occurred, e.g. it will just work without throwing
any error. [ticket:2935]

- with select_from(), add external order by so that Oracle orders correctly

oriented row lookups were not matching up to the ad-hoc :class:`.ColumnClause`
objects that :class:`.TextAsFrom` generates, thereby making it not
usable as a target in :meth:`.Query.from_statement`.  Also fixed
:meth:`.Query.from_statement` mechanics to not mistake a :class:`.TextAsFrom`
for a :class:`.Select` construct.  This bug is also an 0.9 regression
as the :meth:`.Text.columns` method is called to accommodate the
:paramref:`.text.typemap` argument. [ticket:2932]

to disable autoflush, in the case that the attribute needs to lazy-load
the "old" value, as in when replacing one-to-one values or some
kinds of many-to-one.  A flush at this point otherwise occurs
at the point that the attribute is None and can cause NULL violations.

flag allows a custom op from :meth:`.Operators.op` to be considered
as a "comparison" operator, thus usable for custom
:paramref:`.relationship.primaryjoin` conditions.

into the names used by standard functions in :mod:`sqlalchemy.sql.functions`,
such as ``func.coalesce()`` and ``func.max()``.  Using these functions
in ORM attributes and thus producing annotated versions of them could
corrupt the actual function name rendered in the SQL. [ticket:2927]

:class:`.Query` and in other situations where selects or joins
were aliased (such as joined table inheritance) could fail if a
user-defined :class:`.Column` subclass were used in the expression.
In this case, the subclass would fail to propagate ORM-specific
"annotations" along needed by the adaptation.  The "expression
annotations" system has been corrected to account for this case.

target of :paramref:`.relationship.secondary` for the purposes
of creating very complex :func:`.relationship` join conditions.
The change includes adjustments to query joining, joined eager loading
to not render a SELECT subquery, changes to lazy loading such that
the "secondary" target is properly included in the SELECT, and
changes to declarative to better support specification of a
join() object with classes as targets.

MySQL, to correctly render the SET clause among multiple columns
with the same name across tables.  This also changes the name used for
the bound parameter in the SET clause to "<tablename>_<colname>" for
the non-primary table only; as this parameter is typically specified
using the :class:`.Column` object directly this should not have an
impact on applications.   The fix takes effect for both
:meth:`.Table.update` as well as :meth:`.Query.update` in the ORM.
