'Return a :class:`.Query` construct which will correlate the given
FROM clauses to that of an enclosing :class:`.Query` or
:func:`~.expression.select`.
The method here accepts mapped classes, :func:`.aliased` constructs,
and :func:`.mapper` constructs as arguments, which are resolved into
expression constructs, in addition to appropriate expression
constructs.
The correlation arguments are ultimately passed to
:meth:`.Select.correlate` after coercion to expression constructs.
The correlation arguments take effect in such cases
as when :meth:`.Query.from_self` is used, or when
a subquery as returned by :meth:`.Query.subquery` is
embedded in another :func:`~.expression.select` construct.'
