- class, and the returned :class:`.Column` or other mapped attribute
- will be applied to the mapping as any other attribute. Previously,
- the resulting attribute would be ignored, and also result in a warning
- being emitted when a subclass was created.
-
-.. versionadded:: 0.8 :class:`.declared_attr`, when used either with a

- skipped, however should still be mapped on the target class,
- in order to resolve duplicate column conflicts.
-
The same concept can be used with mixin classes (see

the method without the need to copy it.
