at what "moment in time"?    I thought you might mean when they are
expired from the Session, easy enough use the expire event
http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/orm/events.html?highlight=expire%20event#sqlalchemy.orm.events.InstanceEvents.expire
but then you are saying "detached by their nature", as though they are
created that way.

that would be:

inspect(instance).expired_attributes


> * _instance_dict is a dead weakref

that would be:

inspect(instance).dict

but when you say "dead weakref" I think we are again getting at this
"moment in time" you refer towards

preserve it from....when ?   when is it there?   why did it go away ?
