mapper is implicitly combining one of its column-based attributes
with that of the parent, where those columns normally don't necessarily
share the same value.  This is an extension of an existing check that
was added via :ticket:`1892`; however this new check emits only a
warning, instead of an exception, to allow for applications that may
be relying upon the existing behavior.
fixes #3042

implicitly initialized to None via first access; this action,
which has always resulted in a population of the attribute,
now emits an attribute event just like any other attribute set
operation and generates the same kind of history as one.  Additionally,
many mapper internal operations will no longer implicitly generate
these "None" values when various never-set attributes are checked.
These are subtle behavioral fixes to attribute mechanics which provide
a better solution to the problem of :ticket:`3060`, which also
involves recognition of attributes explicitly set to ``None``
vs. attributes that were never set.
fixes #3061

to True, indicates that a series of DELETE statements should confirm
that the cursor rowcount matches the number of primary keys that should
have matched;  this behavior had been taken off in most cases
(except when version_id is used) to support the unusual edge case of
self-referential ON DELETE CASCADE; to accomodate this, the message
is now just a warning, not an exception, and the flag can be used
to indicate a mapping that expects self-refererntial cascaded
deletes of this nature.  See also :ticket:`2403` for background on the
original change. re: #2403 fix #3007

fully usable within declarative relationship configuration, as its
string classname would not be available in the registry of classnames
at mapper configuration time.   The class now explicitly adds itself
to the class regsitry, and additionally both :class:`.AbstractConcreteBase`
as well as :class:`.ConcreteBase` set themselves up *before* mappers
are configured within the :func:`.configure_mappers` setup, using
the new :meth:`.MapperEvents.before_configured` event. [ticket:2950]

- Added new :meth:`.MapperEvents.before_configured` event which allows
an event at the start of :func:`.configure_mappers`, as well
as ``__declare_first__()`` hook within declarative to complement
``__declare_last__()``.

- modified how after_configured is invoked; we just make a dispatch()
not actually connected to any mapper.  this makes it easier
to also invoke before_configured correctly.

- improved the ComparableEntity fixture to handle collections that are sets.
