-    by a naming convention.
-
-    This is a string subclass that indicates a name that should not be
-    subject to any further naming conventions.
-
-    E.g. when we create a :class:`.Constraint` using a naming convention
-    as follows::
-
-        m = MetaData(naming_convention={"ck": "ck_%(table_name)s_%(constraint_name)s"})
-        t = Table('t', m, Column('x', Integer),
-                        CheckConstraint('x > 5', name='x5'))
-
-    The name of the above constraint will be rendered as ``"ck_t_x5"``.  That is,
-    the existing name ``x5`` is used in the naming convention as the ``constraint_name``
-    token.
-
-    In some situations, such as in migration scripts, we may be rendering
-    the above :class:`.CheckConstraint` with a name that's already been
-    converted.  In order to make sure the name isn't double-modified, the
-    new name is applied using the :func:`.schema.conv` marker.  We can
-    use this explicitly as follows::
-
-
-        m = MetaData(naming_convention={"ck": "ck_%(table_name)s_%(constraint_name)s"})
-        t = Table('t', m, Column('x', Integer),
-                        CheckConstraint('x > 5', name=conv('ck_t_x5')))
-
-    Where above, the :func:`.schema.conv` marker indicates that the constraint
-    name here is final, and the name will render as ``"ck_t_x5"`` and not
-    ``"ck_t_ck_t_x5"``
