    real :class:`~sqlalchemy.sql.expression.Alias` object.

    Usage is via the :func:`.orm.aliased` function, or alternatively
    via the :func:`.orm.with_polymorphic` function.

    Usage example::

        # find all pairs of users with the same name
        user_alias = aliased(User)
        session.query(User, user_alias).\\

    This object implements an attribute scheme which produces the
    same attribute and method interface as the original mapped
    class, allowing :class:`.AliasedClass` to be compatible
    with any attribute technique which works on the original class,
    including hybrid attributes (see :ref:`hybrids_toplevel`).

    The :class:`.AliasedClass` can be inspected for its underlying
    :class:`.Mapper`, aliased selectable, and other information
    using :func:`.inspect`::

        from sqlalchemy import inspect
        my_alias = aliased(MyClass)
        insp = inspect(my_alias)

    The resulting inspection object is an instance of :class:`.AliasedInsp`.

    argument descriptions.

    instance.

    E.g.::

        my_alias = aliased(MyClass)

        session.query(MyClass, my_alias).filter(MyClass.id > my_alias.id)

    The :func:`.aliased` function is used to create an ad-hoc mapping
    of a mapped class to a new selectable.  By default, a selectable
    is generated from the normally mapped selectable (typically a
    :class:`.Table`) using the :meth:`.FromClause.alias` method.
    However, :func:`.aliased` can also be used to link the class to
    a new :func:`.select` statement.   Also, the :func:`.with_polymorphic`
    function is a variant of :func:`.aliased` that is intended to specify
    a so-called "polymorphic selectable", that corresponds to the union
    of several joined-inheritance subclasses at once.

    For convenience, the :func:`.aliased` function also accepts plain
    :class:`.FromClause` constructs, such as a :class:`.Table` or
    :func:`.select` construct.   In those cases, the :meth:`.FromClause.alias`
    method is called on the object and the new :class:`.Alias` object
    returned.  The returned :class:`.Alias` is not ORM-mapped in this case.

    :param element: element to be aliased.  Is normally a mapped class,
     but for convenience can also be a :class:`.FromClause` element.
    :param alias: Optional selectable unit to map the element to.  This should
     normally be a :class:`.Alias` object corresponding to the :class:`.Table`
     to which the class is mapped, or to a :func:`.select` construct that
     is compatible with the mapping.   By default, a simple anonymous
     alias of the mapped table is generated.
    :param name: optional string name to use for the alias, if not specified
     by the ``alias`` parameter.  The name, among other things, forms the
     attribute name that will be accessible via tuples returned by a
     :class:`.Query` object.
    :param adapt_on_names: if True, more liberal "matching" will be used when
     mapping the mapped columns of the ORM entity to those of the
     given selectable - a name-based match will be performed if the
     given selectable doesn't otherwise have a column that corresponds
     to one on the entity.  The use case for this is when associating
     an entity with some derived selectable such as one that uses
     aggregate functions::

        class UnitPrice(Base):
            __tablename__ = 'unit_price'
            ...
            unit_id = Column(Integer)
            price = Column(Numeric)

        aggregated_unit_price = Session.query(
                                    func.sum(UnitPrice.price).label('price')
                                ).group_by(UnitPrice.unit_id).subquery()

        aggregated_unit_price = aliased(UnitPrice,
                    alias=aggregated_unit_price, adapt_on_names=True)

     Above, functions on ``aggregated_unit_price`` which refer to
     ``.price`` will return the
     ``fund.sum(UnitPrice.price).label('price')`` column, as it is
     matched on the name "price".  Ordinarily, the "price" function
     wouldn't have any "column correspondence" to the actual
     ``UnitPrice.price`` column as it is not a proxy of the original.

    Using this method will ensure that each descendant mapper's

    criterion to be used against those tables.  The resulting

    no "post fetch" of those columns will be required.

def randomize_unitofwork():
    """Use random-ordering sets within the unit of work in order
    to detect unit of work sorting issues.

    This is a utility function that can be used to help reproduce
    inconsistent unit of work sorting issues.   For example,
    if two kinds of objects A and B are being inserted, and
    B has a foreign key reference to A - the A must be inserted first.
    However, if there is no relationship between A and B, the unit of work
    won't know to perform this sorting, and an operation may or may not
    fail, depending on how the ordering works out.   Since Python sets
    and dictionaries have non-deterministic ordering, such an issue may
    occur on some runs and not on others, and in practice it tends to
    have a great dependence on the state of the interpreter.  This leads
    to so-called "heisenbugs" where changing entirely irrelevant aspects
    of the test program still cause the failure behavior to change.

    By calling ``randomize_unitofwork()`` when a script first runs, the
    ordering of a key series of sets within the unit of work implementation
    are randomized, so that the script can be minimized down to the fundamental
    mapping and operation that's failing, while still reproducing the issue
    on at least some runs.

    This utility is also available when running the test suite via the
    ``--reversetop`` flag.

    .. versionadded:: 0.8.1 created a standalone version of the
       ``--reversetop`` feature.
