Is there a way to use relationship() with hybrid properties? When using
foreign() to mark the foreign key and trying to set the relationship, it
seems to treat the underlying column as the foreign key rather than the
hybrid property. For instance (apologies for triteness):

    from __future__ import unicode_literals

    from sqlalchemy import create_engine, func, Column, Integer, String
    from sqlalchemy.ext.hybrid import hybrid_property
    from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
    from sqlalchemy.orm import foreign, relationship, remote, Session


    Base = declarative_base()

    class Person(Base):
        __tablename__ = "person"

        id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
        name = Column(String)


    class Book(Base):
        __tablename__ = "book"

        id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
        person_id = Column(String)

        @hybrid_property
        def author_id(self):
            return int(self.person_id[1:])

        @author_id.expression
        def author_id(self):
            return func.substr(self.person_id, 2)

        @author_id.setter
        def author_id(self, value):
            self.person_id = "A{}".format(value)

        author = relationship(
            Person,
            primaryjoin=lambda:
                remote(Person.id) == foreign(Book.author_id),
        )


    engine = create_engine("sqlite:///:memory:")

    Base.metadata.create_all(engine)
    session = Session(engine)

    bob = Person(id=42, name="Bob")
    session.add(bob)
    session.flush()
    session.add(Book(author=bob))
    session.commit()

    print(session.query(Book).one().person_id)
    assert session.query(Book).one().person_id == "A42"


In this case, person_id will be set to "42" rather than "A42". I just
wanted to check that was unsupported, rather than an error on my part
(or if there's an alternative that'll give similar functionality in
the ORM i.e. being able to set the relationship without the foreign ID
necessarily having been set).

Thanks
