@validates hangs a marker of the method that mapper() uses when it instruments
the class, so if the class is already mapped then that train has left the
station. Taking a cab instead, you can just add the attribute event directly:
@event.listens_for(Positive.value, "set")
def checkvalue(target, value, oldvalue, initiator)
assert value > 0
if you want to return a new, mutated value then add retval=True to
listens_for().
