may be called against a stale connection without the "connect"
event handler having been called, in the case where the pool
attempted to reconnect after being invalidated and failed; the stale
connection would remain present and would be used on a subsequent
attempt.  This issue has a greater impact in the 1.0 series subsequent
to 1.0.2, as it also delivers a blanked-out ``.info`` dictionary to
the event handler; prior to 1.0.2 the ``.info`` dictionary is still
the previous one.
fixes #3497

didn't implement ``__slots__``, and therefore meant all subclasses
of that class didn't either, negating the rationale for ``__slots__``
to be in use.  Didn't cause any issue except on IronPython
which apparently does not implement ``__slots__`` behavior compatibly
with cPython.
Fixes #3494

- test for .cast() method has no good place now except for
test_cast in test_compiler.py

by the ORM :class:`.Query` object (part of the performance
enhancements of :ticket:`3175`) would not raise the "this result
does not return rows" exception in the case where the driver
(typically MySQL) fails to generate cursor.description correctly;
an AttributeError against NoneType would be raised instead.
fixes #3481

un-adjusted internal symbol names for "anonymous" labels, which
are the "foo_1" types of labels we see generated for SQL functions
without labels and similar.  This was a side effect of the
performance enhancements implemented as part of references #918.
fixes #3483

in conjunction with :func:`.and_` or :func:`.or_` would fail
with an AttributeError.
fixes #3490

of :class:`.FunctionElement` or other column element that incorrectly
states 'None' or any other invalid object as the ``.type``
attribute will report this exception instead of recursion overflow.
