Currently, SQLA lets us use constructs like `child = relationship('Child')`, where 'Child' is Python code that is evaluated against some global-ish namespace. (More advanced: "Child.id == Parent.id", etc)
Is this something that is available as a public library? We'd like to use a similar pattern in our own mixin - we have a list of models that a model can link to, and we'd like to be able to say `linked_models = ['ModelA', 'ModelB']` and have that later be able to return the actual classes. (The reason why we have this is a bit long and tedious, but it's basically a hack to avoid circular imports.) In other words, is there a function that can do `model_cls = looup_model(model_name)`?
