specify a :func:`.text` expression as the target; the index no longer
needs to have a table-bound column present if the index is to be
manually added to the table, either via inline declaration or via
:meth:`.Table.append_constraint`. fixes #3028

- move out logging tests from test_execute to test_logging

mssql to ensure that any literal SQL expression values are
rendered directly as literals, instead of as bound parameters,
within a CREATE INDEX statement. [ticket:2742]
- don't need expression_as_ddl(); literal_binds and include_table
take care of this functionality.

a lower-case-t table

functions, in addition to straight columns.   Common modifiers
include using ``somecolumn.desc()`` for a descending index and
``func.lower(somecolumn)`` for a case-insensitive index, depending on the
capabilities of the target backend.

:class:`.CheckConstraint` would apply itself back to the
original table during a :meth:`.Table.tometadata` operation, as
it would parse the SQL expression for a parent table. The
operation now copies the given expression to correspond to the
new table.

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.
