Then why do you have every parameter prefixed with "modify_"? 8-)

But seriously, if that bothers you, then fold the "items.c." portion
into the generator expression with a getattr call.  Or just change
them back to the same strings you had originally, and sqlalchemy will
be just as happy to accept them as-is.
