N occurrences of a parameterized string.   This allows parameterized

and prevents memory from growing unbounded within Python's

any speed improvements :(.   code is in a much better place to be run into

- The ``proc()`` callable passed to the ``create_row_processor()``
method of custom :class:`.Bundle` classes now accepts only a single
"row" argument.
- Deprecated event hooks removed:  ``populate_instance``,
``create_instance``, ``translate_row``, ``append_result``
- the getter() idea is somewhat restored; see ref #3175
