    """Illustrates customized class instrumentation, using
    the :mod:`sqlalchemy.ext.instrumentation` extension package.

    In this example, mapped classes are modified to
    store their state in a dictionary attached to an attribute
    named "_goofy_dict", instead of using __dict__.
    this example illustrates how to replace SQLAlchemy's class
    descriptors with a user-defined system.
