So basically when I'm using the relationship in my code I never want
deleted items to show up. However, for cascading I still need them.
Using serverside cascades could work but if there's a way of doing that
without having to switch to serverside cascades it'd be nicer.

BTW the example doesn't work with SQLite, apparently it automatically
NULLs invalid FKs even without specifying `on delete set null` on the FK.

the general idea of SQLA emitting NULL should work on SQLite as it does in my example.

the treatment of items in the collection when the parent object is deleted is dependent on what items are actually loaded into the collection. So if you set deleted=True on the related item, it won't be loaded in the collection and it won't get modified.

Here you'd need to build another relationship just for the purposes of this delete with the simpler primaryjoin condition. Or just use ON DELETE SET NULL which is a lot simpler, not sure why you don't prefer that.
