if the name of the attribute being accessed is non-specific,
thereby avoiding collisions on names like items, values, keys.

event where its invocation was moved to be after the class manager's
instrumentation of the class, which is the opposite of what the
documentation for the event explicitly states.  The rationale for the
switch was due to Declarative taking the step of setting up
the full "instrumentation manager" for a class before it was mapped
for the purpose of the new ``@declared_attr`` features
described in :ref:`feature_3150`, but the change was also made
against the classical use of :func:`.mapper` for consistency.
However, SQLSoup relies upon the instrumentation event happening
before any instrumentation under classical mapping.
The behavior is reverted in the case of classical and declarative
mapping, the latter implemented by using a simple memoization
without using class manager.

to transient objects with attributes unset would leak NEVER_SET,
and negated_contains_or_equals would do so for any transient
object as the comparison used only the committed value.
Repaired the NEVER_SET cases, fixes #3371, and also made
negated_contains_or_equals() use state_attr_by_column() just
like a non-negated comparison, fixes #3374

a much more modest outcome than what we started with.   The
work of create_row_processor() for ColumnProperty objects
is essentially done at query setup time combined with some
lookups in _instance_processor().
- to allow this change for deferred columns, deferred columns
no longer search for themselves in the result.   If they've been
set up as deferred without any explicit directive to undefer them,
then this is what was asked for.  if we don't do this,
then we're stuck with this performance penalty for all deferred
columns which in the vast majority of typical use cases (e.g. loading
large, legacy tables or tables with many/large very seldom
used values) won't be present in the result and won't be accessed at all.

the :func:`.orm.load_only` option to cover all attributes not
explicitly mentioned, now takes into account the superclasses
of a given entity, if that entity is mapped with inheritance mapping,
so that attribute names within the superclasses are also omitted
from the load.  Additionally, the polymorphic discriminator column
is unconditionally included in the list, just in the same way that
primary key columns are, so that even with load_only() set up,
polymorphic loading of subtypes continues to function correctly.
