Is there any shorter/prettier way for this?

    session.query(session.query(Foo).exists()).scalar()

It's not hard to add a custom method to the base query class that returns

    self.session.query(self.exists()).scalar()

but it feels like something that should be part of SQLAlchemy.

Also, is there any case where `.enable_eagerloads(False)` right before 
`.exists()` could cause problems / different results?
If not, wouldn't it make sense for exists() to do that automatically? 
Loading a relationship doesn't ever seem to make sense
when checking exists().
