We have a feature request for this but it's not available yet. No ETA.

We do have a #dbTransient option on a class, which means its instances
persist but only with nils in the instance variables. (Kind of weird, I
know.) This allows you to create a value holder whose value(s) will never
persist.


One of our customers has a convention technique whereby they use e.g.
#ourCommit rather than #commitTransaction and their convention allows them
to enumerate the objects that will be written and "pre-flush" each. This
allows classes to nil instance variables that they don't want persisted.
