[Gammaray-interest] Feature Request: blacklisting of properties

Hi,

I'm working on a user interface for a product in the automotive industry.

We are using the QSkinny framework ( https://github.com/uwerat/qskinny ), 
what is the part of our code I am allowed to release under a open source 
license.

Now I started playing with GammaRay and our application and was very 
pleased how well things play together. Nevertheless I noticed a minor 
issue I would like at least to mention:

Retrieving properties from QQuickItem sometimes has the side effect of 
creating extra objects + consuming extra memory + resulting in  
misleading results. So far I noticed QQuickItem::anchors() and 
QQuickItem::childrenRect() falling into this category.

Another observation is that certain properties do not make too much sense 
in the context of a pure C++ Qt/Quick application and I would like to get 
rid of them, so the the Object tab becomes more readable.

I guess both could be solved if I could configure some sort of blacklist 
with all properties I would like to be ignored by GammaRay.

Maybe something like this could be added in a future version ?

But anyway - thanks a lot for this great tool,
Uwe
