The recent upgrade to 0.5.0 (again, thank you) from 0.5.0rc4 brought
with it a new message regarding many-to-many relationships and
cascades (specifically, delete cascades).

I have a few questions - one is general and the other has to do with a
more specific problem.

First, the general question:

Since delete cascades will not be supported on many-to-many
relationships in 0.6 (why not?), is there a way to resolve this issue?

The more specific question deals with a database I have inherited. I
have some tables which have a *logical* relationship of 1:1 (ie, the
actual usage is 1:1) but due to legacy issues the actual data
definition in the database is described as a many-to-many due to the
presence of a join table (aka "secondary"). What is the best way to
represent this in SQLAlchemy without changing the database structure?
Bonus points for working cascades. In other words, I have three
tables: A, B, and C where A and C should have a 1:1 relationship (C
would have a foreign key ref on A's primary key and so on) but instead
B is used as a join table.

I am currently "solving" this problem at the mapper layer with
secondary=B and uselist=False.
