The :class:`.Sequence` construct restores itself to the DDL behavior it
had prior to the 1.4 series, where creating a :class:`.Sequence` with
no additional arguments will emit a simple ``CREATE SEQUENCE`` instruction
**without** any additional parameters for "start value". For most backends,
this is how things worked previously in any case; **however**, for
MS SQL Server, the default value on this database is
``-2**63``; to prevent this generally impractical default
from taking effect on SQL Server, the :paramref:`.Sequence.start` parameter
should be provided. As usage of :class:`.Sequence` is unusual
for SQL Server which for many years has standardized on ``IDENTITY``,
it is hoped that this change has minimal impact.
