Description
Here's the problem:
```text
> JSON.stringify({ foo: undefined })
'{}'
```
Any request or response objects that are serialized before being transported will lose any fields with the value `undefined`. Introspecting `params` or errors to suss out such fields is beyond the scope of this package, but there's an argument that we should throw errors if we detect that any top-level top-level request or response property exists and has the value `undefined`.
That may also be out of scope for this package, but this is as good a place to track it as any.

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the TypeScript utilities that validate or serialize request and response objects, then determine whether top-level undefined properties are in scope. Done means the agreed behavior is implemented consistently and covered by tests for both request and response objects.
