+        Originally implemented in 2008 as a simple load of the .c collection
+        when the annotated construct was created (see d3621ae961a), in modern
+        SQLAlchemy versions this can be expensive for statements constructed
+        with ORM aliases.   So for #8796 SQLAlchemy 2.0 we instead proxy
+        it, which works just as well.
+
+        Two different use cases seem to require the collection either copied
+        from the underlying one, or unique to this AnnotatedFromClause.
