Serializes this instance, honouring the `returning` column list.

**Signature:**

```typescript
toJSON(): any;
```
**Returns:**

any

A plain object, ready to send over the wire.

## Remarks

Sequelize's own `toJSON()` emits the loaded attributes. This one also picks up an associated instance, or an array of them, that those attributes do not already cover, and then — if the last write named the columns to return — drops every property that was not named.
