I should mention that I have some interest as well in expanding on
the declarative layer to include some extra information necessary

What do you mean exactly? Richer automatic discovery sounds good,
but I am not entirely sure what you are talking about :)
If I understand correctly from a conversation I had with Ben the
other day, he wants to tack on metadata information onto class
properties mostly for the purpose of providing clues to a view layer
about how to handle/display that object. this is an idea I am
largely uncomfortable with since the view is basically being allowed
to pollute the model. also, Python allows the "tacking on" of
whatever attributes you want onto any other object, including class
properties, so I am not sure what kind of changes to SQLAlchemy or
the declarative layer he would have in mind, that cant be better
accomplished by some externally provided feature, like a special base
class (ViewPollutedSQLAlchemyObject ? :) ) .
