Omit connections that start from hidden nodes

[polamoros]

Use Case

A lot of connections are added when using the bring UI.

bring cloud;
bring ui;

class myBucket {
  b: cloud.Bucket;
  new() {
    this.b = new cloud.Bucket();
    new ui.FileBrowser("File Browser",
      {
        put: inflight (fileName: str, fileContent:str) => {
          this.b.put(fileName, fileContent);
        },
        delete: inflight (fileName: str) => {
          this.b.delete(fileName);
        },
        get: inflight (fileName: str) => {
          return this.b.get(fileName);
        },
        list: inflight () => {return this.b.list();},
      }
    );

    new cloud.Service(
      inflight () => {
        this.b.put("hello.txt", "Hello, GET!");
        return inflight () => {
        };
      },
    );
  }
  pub inflight put(key: str, value: str) {
    this.b.put(key, value);
  }
}

let myB = new myBucket() as "MyUIComponentBucket";

Proposed Solution

Hide connections that go from the parent directly to its children.

I think we should omit connections that start from hidden nodes (e.g. UI buttons, UI fields...) but still keep connections that start from visible nodes (even if they go through hidden nodes).
