We have several third-party vendors that provide us with large, normalized 
schema (100+) tables. I am looking to quickly discover probable foreign 
keys based on a column's name and data type attributes.

For the data type attributes, I am looking to extract any attribute values 
set on the data type object. For instance:

import sqlalchemy as sa

char = sa.CHAR(2)

print(char.__dict__)



>>> {'unicode_error': None, 'collation': None, 'convert_unicode': False, 
'_warn_on_bytestring': False, 'length': 2}

In this instance, I want to programmatically separate the length attribute 
as an actual database type attribute from convert_unicode.

Digging through the code base the best example I could find for this 
behavior is in util.generic_repr where a similar function could output an 
ordered dict versus a formatted string. Is there a more direct way/existing 
function in Sqlalchemy to accomplish this or something that could be useful 
to add to the library? If not, can I have permission to reference and 
modify the existing code in util.generic_repr?
