This relies on the object determine if any transformation is required and may depend on the ``serialize_method`` and ``serialize_context`` context variables. For instance a ``MaskedColumn`` may be stored directly to FITS, but can also be serialized as separate data and mask columns. This function builds up a list of plain columns in the ``new_cols`` arg (which is passed as a persistent list). This includes both plain columns from the original table and plain columns that represent data from serialized columns (e.g. ``jd1`` and ``jd2`` arrays from a ``Time`` column). For serialized columns the ``mixin_cols`` dict is updated with required attributes and information to subsequently reconstruct the table. Table mixin columns are always serialized and get represented by one or more data columns. In earlier versions of the code *only* mixin columns were serialized, hence the use within this code of "mixin" to imply serialization. Starting with version 3.1, the non-mixin ``MaskedColumn`` can also be serialized.
