`Pydantic.BaseModel` is the new dataclass, I think it should be considered for the future versions of `cassandra.Model`

This enhancement could open avenues for high level programming of cassandra rows. Sort of like ORM, but OM in Cassandra’s case.

Features

• Serialization, and desiralization

• Polymorphism of cassandra models

• Native computed fields support (will be implemented in pydantic 2.x)

• Speed-up of at least 20x when it comes to working with models (pydantic 2.x)

Please add your own ideas.

Pydantic 2.x

Pydantic 2.x will be a significant enhancement to the framework. The transition should be painless for 1.x; don’t quote me.
