need this collection except in the extend/update uses where we
create it ad-hoc.  simplifies pickling.  Compatibility with 1.0
should be OK as ColumnColleciton uses __getstate__ in any case
and the __setstate__ contract hasn't changed.
- Fixed bug in :class:`.Table` metadata construct which appeared
around the 0.9 series where adding columns to a :class:`.Table`
that was unpickled would fail to correctly establish the
:class:`.Column` within the 'c' collection, leading to issues in
areas such as ORM configuration.   This could impact use cases such
as ``extend_existing`` and others.  fixes #3632

as subqueries in order to work around SQLite's lack of support for this
syntax, is lifted when SQLite version 3.7.16 or greater is detected.
fixes #3634
- The workaround for SQLite's unexpected delivery of column names as
``tablename.columnname`` for some kinds of queries is now disabled
when SQLite version 3.10.0 or greater is detected.
fixes #3633

- fix test_resultset so that it passes when SQLite 3.10.0 is
present, references #3633

when the construct contains non-standard sql elements such as
returning, array index operations, or dialect-specific or custom
datatypes.  a string is now returned in these cases rendering an
approximation of the construct (typically the postgresql-style
version of it) rather than raising an error. fixes #3631
- add within_group to top-level imports
- add eq_ignore_whitespace to sqlalchemy.testing imports

method, and its interaction with result-row processing, now allows
the columns passed to the method to be positionally matched with the
result columns in the statement, rather than matching on name alone.
The advantage to this includes that when linking a textual SQL statement
to an ORM or Core table model, no system of labeling or de-duping of
common column names needs to occur, which also means there's no need
to worry about how label names match to ORM columns and so-forth.  In
addition, the :class:`.ResultProxy` has been further enhanced to
map column and string keys to a row with greater precision in some
cases.  fixes #3501
- reorganize the initialization of ResultMetaData for readability
and complexity; use the name "cursor_description", define the
task of "merging" cursor_description with compiled column information
as its own function, and also define "name extraction" as a separate task.
- fully change the name we use in the "ambiguous column" error to be the
actual name that was ambiguous, modify the C ext also

This supports the use case of an application that uses the same set of
:class:`.Table` objects in many schemas, such as schema-per-user.
A new execution option
:paramref:`.Connection.execution_options.schema_translate_map` is
added. fixes #2685
- latest tox doesn't like the {posargs} in the profile rerunner

persistence of JSON values in MySQL as well as basic operator support
of "getitem" and "getpath", making use of the ``JSON_EXTRACT``
function in order to refer to individual paths in a JSON structure.
fixes #3547
- Added a new type to core :class:`.types.JSON`.  This is the
base of the PostgreSQL :class:`.postgresql.JSON` type as well as that
of the new :class:`.mysql.JSON` type, so that a PG/MySQL-agnostic
JSON column may be used.  The type features basic index and path
searching support.
fixes #3619
- reorganization of migration docs etc. to try to refer both to
the fixes to JSON that helps Postgresql while at the same time
indicating these are new features of the new base JSON type.
- a rework of the Array/Indexable system some more, moving things
that are specific to Array out of Indexable.
- new operators for JSON indexing added to core so that these can
be compiled by the PG and MySQL dialects individually
- rename sqltypes.Array to sqltypes.ARRAY - as there is no generic
Array implementation, this is an uppercase type for now, consistent
with the new sqltypes.JSON type that is also not a generic implementation.
There may need to be some convention change to handle the case of
datatypes that aren't generic, rely upon DB-native implementations,
but aren't necessarily all named the same thing.

no longer called for an UPDATE or DELETE statement emitted via plain
text or via the :func:`.text` construct, affecting those drivers
that erase cursor.rowcount once the cursor is closed such as SQL
Server ODBC and Firebird drivers.
