Alembic is a new database migrations tool, written by the author of
`SQLAlchemy <http://www.sqlalchemy.org>`_.  A migrations tool offers the
following functionality:

* Can emit ALTER statements to a database in order to change the structure
of tables and other constructs.
* Provides a system whereby "migration scripts" may be constructed; each script
indicates a particular series of steps that can "upgrade" a target database to
a new version, and optionally a series of steps that can "downgrade"
similarly, doing the same steps in reverse.
* Allows the scripts to execute in some sequential manner.
