we will be able to parse dialect-specific arguments from string
configuration dictionaries.  Dialect classes can now provide their
own list of parameter types and string-conversion routines.
The feature is not yet used by the built-in dialects, however.

of dbapi.Error (such as ``TypeError``, ``NotImplementedError``, etc.)
will propagate the exception unchanged.  Previously,
the error handling specific to the ``connect()`` routine would both
inappropriately run the exception through the dialect's
:meth:`.Dialect.is_disconnect` routine as well as wrap it in
a :class:`sqlalchemy.exc.DBAPIError`.  It is now propagated unchanged
in the same way as occurs within the execute process. [ticket:2881]
- add tests for this in test_parseconnect, but also add tests in test_execute
to ensure the execute() behavior as well

   "@", or "/" must be encoded." - so re-apply encoding to both password
and username, don't encode spaces as plus signs, don't encode any chars
outside of :, @, / on stringification - but we still parse for any
%XX character (is that right?)

:func:`.make_url` function **no longer URL encode the password**.
Database passwords that include characters like spaces, plus signs
and anything else should now represent these characters directly,
without any URL escaping. [ticket:2873]

ipv6 addresses, e.g. surrounded by brackets. [ticket:2851]

Fixes #2821

actual mock objects from the mock library.  I'd like to use mock
for new tests so we might as well use it in obvious places.
- use unittest.mock in py3.3
- changelog
- add a note to README.unittests
- add tests_require in setup.py
- have tests import from sqlalchemy.testing.mock
- apply usage of mock to one of the event tests.  we can be using
this approach all over the place.

- went through examples/ and cleaned out excess list() calls

become an externally usable package but still remains within the main sqlalchemy parent package.
in this system, we use kind of an ugly hack to get the noseplugin imported outside of the
"sqlalchemy" package, while still making it available within sqlalchemy for usage by
third party libraries.
