Outside of checking the discriminator value is it possible to filter a 
query by a class in an inheritance mapping?

class Employee(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'employee'
    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    name = Column(String(50))
    type = Column(String(20))

    __mapper_args__ = {
        'polymorphic_on':type,
        'polymorphic_identity':'employee'
    }

class Manager(Employee):
    manager_data = Column(String(50))

    __mapper_args__ = {
        'polymorphic_identity':'manager'
    }

class Engineer(Employee):
    engineer_info = Column(String(50))

    __mapper_args__ = {
        'polymorphic_identity':'engineer'
    }

and then query something like:

engineers = session.query(Employee).filter(isclass(Engineer)).all()
