Changes (by Mads Jensen):

 * version:  1.9 => master


Comment:

 Current PR aims to add support for MariaDB (it seems that MariaDB will be
 an officially supported backend in a future release), annotations are
 added in the test suite for functions that aren't implemented; it has been
 tested locally against a release candidate of MariaDB 10.2.

 All backends have some limitations, e.g., PostgreSQL disallows use
 together with `FOR SHARE/UPDATE`. Uncertain how much of these backend
 restrictions that can be highlighted in the documentation, and how much
 that should be handled by raising warnings.

 Improvement ideas are welcome. I'm content with some parts, such as the
 actual functions and the `filterable`-check. However, the syntax for
 ordering seems a bit clumsy, although it's difficult to see a different
 way than to use a wrapper (`ExpressionList`) to add support for
 `DESC`/`ASC` for both expressions and columns.
