"Compound select" methods like :meth:`_sql.Select.union`, :meth:`_sql.Select.intersect_all` etc. now accept ``*other`` as an argument rather than ``other`` to allow for multiple additional SELECTs to be compounded with the parent statement at once. In particular, the change as applied to :meth:`_sql.CTE.union` and :meth:`_sql.CTE.union_all` now allow for a so-called "non-linear CTE" to be created with the :class:`_sql.CTE` construct, whereas previously there was no way to have more than two CTE sub-elements in a UNION together while still correctly calling upon the CTE in recursive fashion.

Allow: ```sql WITH RECURSIVE nodes(x) AS ( SELECT 59 UNION SELECT aa FROM edge JOIN nodes ON bb=x UNION SELECT bb FROM edge JOIN nodes ON aa=x ) SELECT x FROM nodes; ``` Based on @zzzeek suggestion: https://github.com/sqlalchemy/sqlalchemy/pull/7133#issuecomment-933882348 Fixes: #7259 Closes: #7260 Pull-request: https://github.com/sqlalchemy/sqlalchemy/pull/7260 Pull-request-sha:2565a5fd4bChange-Id: I685c8379762b5fb6ab4107ff8f4d8a4de70c0ca6 (cherry picked from commit958f902b1f)
