- 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

that ``discriminator_on_association.py`` makes use of single table
inheritance do the work with the "discriminator".  Also
added a true "generic foreign key" example, which works similarly
to other popular frameworks in that it uses an open-ended integer
to point to any other table, foregoing traditional referential
integrity.  While we don't recommend this pattern, information wants
to be free.  Also in 0.8.3.

- Added a convenience class decorator :func:`.as_declarative`, is
a wrapper for :func:`.declarative_base` which allows an existing base
class to be applied using a nifty class-decorated approach.  Also
in 0.8.3.

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).

attributes that are not Column or MapperProperty;
including any user-defined value as well
as association proxy objects.  [ticket:2517]

    single-inheritance declarative subclasses,
    with or without using a mixin, can be resolved
    using a new @declared_attr usage described
    in the documentation.  [ticket:2472]
