After serialization to the abstract repr, we validate the outcomes against the JSON schema to ensure its valid before returning. This is a defensive practice since, in the absence of bugs, the serialized sequence should always be valid. It is also this validation that takes the vast majority of the time.
As such, adding a skip_validation: bool flag to Sequence.to_abstract_repr() is sensible and would allow the serialization to run significantly faster.
