such as "literal binds" into a CAST expression.
- Fixed bug whereby binary type would fail in some cases
if used with a "test" dialect, such as a DefaultDialect or other
dialect with no DBAPI.
- Fixed bug where "literal binds" wouldn't work with a bound parameter
that's a binary type.  A similar, but different, issue is fixed
in 0.8.

where a more specific type is adapted to a more generic one - this
use case is needed by some third party tools such as ``sqlacodegen``.
The specific cases that needed repair within this test suite were that
of :class:`.mysql.ENUM` being downcast into a :class:`.types.Enum`,
and that of SQLite date types being cast into generic date types.
The ``adapt()`` method needed to become more specific here to counteract
the removal of a "catch all" ``**kwargs`` collection on the base
:class:`.TypeEngine` class that was removed in 0.9. [ticket:2917]

- add dialect specific kwarg functionality to ForeignKeyConstraint, ForeignKey

e.g. values that are normally bound parameters but due to context must
be rendered as strings, typically within DDL constructs such as
CHECK constraints and indexes (note that "literal bind" values
become used by DDL as of :ticket:`2742`).  A new method
:meth:`.TypeEngine.literal_processor` serves as the base, and
:meth:`.TypeDecorator.process_literal_param` is added to allow wrapping
of a native literal rendering method. [ticket:2838]
- enhance _get_colparams so that we can send flags like literal_binds into
INSERT statements
- add support in PG for inspecting standard_conforming_strings
- add a new series of roundtrip tests based on INSERT of literal plus SELECT
for basic literal rendering in dialect suite

regexp apparently were not fully implemented correctly; while the
arguments were accepted, in practice they would have no effect;
this has been fixed.  Also in 0.8.3.
