Is there a way to exclude attributes if its value is nil?

We're are migrating our API serialization library to yours, particularly because of performance reasons. And we have multiple instances of big payloads where there are fields that could be nil.

For example, this is how we include errors on our serializers, which leads us to instances where if the resource has no errors it will include it in the payload unnecessarily.

class ApplicationSerializer < Panko::Serializer
      attributes :errors
      
      def errors
        return unless object&.errors&.any?

        object.errors.messages
      end
end

If it's not possible at the moment, is this a feature that you might consider adding support for in the future? For example a general config where you could skip all nil values.
