Review Comment:
   I missed your previous comments, sorry about that!
   
   > Also, should the by_alias passed to the method be passed to the 
super().json(...) call? Right now it ignores it.
   
   Thanks! That was a copy-paste error.

   ```
   This class extends the Pydantic BaseModel to set default values by 
overriding them.
   
   This is because we always want to set by_alias to True. In Python, the dash 
can't
   be used in variable names, and this is used throughout the Iceberg spec.
   
   The same goes for exclude_none, if a field is None we want to omit it from
   serialization, for example, the doc attribute on the NestedField object.
   Default non-null values will be serialized.
   
   This is recommended by Pydantic:
