I have a handful of functions within an application's "library api" that 
share a similar intent in functionality and return values, but query for 
discrete types of objects. I'm working on standardizing them right now and 
could use some feedback.

case 1 is simple:

    results = dbSession.query(Foo.id, case(..)).all()

    results  is a `list`
    results[0] is an instance of `sqlalchemy.util._collections.result`

case 2 is where i'm stuck - some queries are a bit complex and still in raw 
SQL..

     results = dbSession.execute(text("SELECT id, id_bar FROM foo WHERE 
...")).all()
     results is a `sqlalchemy.engine.result.ResultProxy` instance
     if I consume all rows as `results = [i for i in results]`
     then `results[0]` is a `sqlalchemy.engine.result.RowProxy`

I need to ensure the latter form is a list of tuples, like the former, so 
it can be used by various encoders and libraries that look for a list/tuple 
in that objects MRO.

Right now I'm manually doing this and documenting the rationale.  But is 
there anything in the sqlalchemy api that would streamline turning the 
second form into something where a tuple/list is involved - perhaps 
bypassing the RowProxy step?  I couldn't find anything in the docs.
