expression element which is late-evaluated at compile time.  Previously,
the function was only a conversion function which would handle different
expression inputs by returning either a :class:`.Label` of a column-oriented
expression or a copy of a given :class:`.BindParameter` object,
which in particular prevented the operation from being logically
maintained when an ORM-level expression transformation would convert
a column to a bound parameter (e.g. for lazy loading).
fixes #3531

insert statement, :ticket:`3288`, where the column type for the
default-holding column would not be propagated to the compiled
statement in the case where the default was being used,
leading to bind-level type handlers not being invoked.
fixes #3520

with a :class:`.SchemaType` implementation, typically :class:`.Enum`
or :class:`.Boolean` with regards to ensuring that the per-table
events are propagated from the implementation type to the outer type.
These events are used
to ensure that the constraints or Postgresql types (e.g. ENUM)
are correctly created (and possibly dropped) along with the parent
table.
fixes #2919

``<function> WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY <criteria>)``, using the
method :class:`.FunctionElement.within_group`.  A series of common
set-aggregate functions with return types derived from the set have
been added. This includes functions like :class:`.percentile_cont`,
:class:`.dense_rank` and others.
fixes #1370
- make sure we use func.name for all _literal_as_binds in functions.py
so we get consistent naming behavior for parameters.

which automatically returns an :class:`.Array` of the correct type
and supports index / slice operations.   As arrays are only
supported on Postgresql at the moment, only actually works on
Postgresql. fixes #3132

- any/all work for Array as well as subqueries, accepted by MySQL
- Postgresql ARRAY now subclasses Array
- fixes #3516

by mock and other __getattr__ impostors

or mapped instances into contexts where they are interpreted as
SQL bound parameters; a new exception is raised for this.
fixes #3321

"super" instead of hardcoding to "self.type" for the default return
value, the base Comparator was returning other_comparator.type.   It's
not clear what the rationale for this was, though in theory the
base Comparator should possibly even throw an exception if the two
types aren't the same (or of the same affinity?) .
- mysql.SET was broken on this because the bitwise version adds "0"
to the value to force an integer within column_expression, we are doing type_coerces here
now in any case so that there is no type ambiguity for this
operation
