I can't comment on the use of it in shared parts, but in menus and
toolbars I need a different flag that contols visibility vs TBR (which
means under control of the renderer). But if it's not useful in other
rendering contexts, it could be moved up to the MMenuElement level.
Also, I'll give you this 3.x scenario to consider. You can currently
hide an editor. It has the properties that the editor tab is no
longer visible in the editor area. But as it works against the
EditorReference, it has no effect on the "restored" state of the
editor. i.e. if there's an EditorPart it is left alone, not disposed.
