:ticket:`3341` where in the unusual case of a constraint that refers
to a mixture of :class:`.Column` objects and string column names
at the same time, the auto-attach-on-column-attach logic will be
skipped; for the constraint to be auto-attached in this case,
all columns must be assembled on the target table up front.
Added a new section to the migration document regarding the
original feature as well as this change.
fixes #3411

convention would not properly work with pickle.  The attribute was
skipped leading to inconsistencies and failures if the unpickled
:class:`.MetaData` object were used to base additional tables
from.
fixes #3362

and :class:`.CheckConstraint` has been further enhanced such that
when the constraint is associated with non-table-bound :class:`.Column`
objects, the constraint will set up event listeners with the
columns themselves such that the constraint auto attaches at the
same time the columns are associated with the table.  This in particular
helps in some edge cases in declarative but is also of general use.
fixes #3341

unfortunately Sphinx refuses to work correctly for the columns
attribute so we just add a lame message to contains_column().

conventions that include the token ``%(column_0_name)s``; the
constraint expression is scanned for columns.  Additionally,
naming conventions for check constraints that don't include the
``%(constraint_name)s`` token will now work for :class:`.SchemaType`-
generated constraints, such as those of :class:`.Boolean` and
:class:`.Enum`; this stopped working in 0.9.7 due to :ticket:`3067`.
fixes #3299

the logic used to link a :class:`.ForeignKey` to its parent could fail
when the foreign key used "link_to_name=True" in conjunction with
a target :class:`.Table` that would not receive its parent column until
later, such as within a reflection + "useexisting" scenario,
if the target column in fact had a key value different from its name,
as would occur in reflection if column reflect events were used to
alter the .key of reflected :class:`.Column` objects so that the
link_to_name becomes significant.  Also repaired support for column
type via FK transmission in a similar way when target columns had a
different key and were referenced using link_to_name.
fixes #3298

sort_tables_and_constraints function.
- The DDL generation system of :meth:`.MetaData.create_all`
and :meth:`.Metadata.drop_all` has been enhanced to in most
cases automatically handle the case of mutually dependent
foreign key constraints; the need for the
:paramref:`.ForeignKeyConstraint.use_alter` flag is greatly
reduced.  The system also works for constraints which aren't given
a name up front; only in the case of DROP is a name required for
at least one of the constraints involved in the cycle.
