As I wrote before, AFAIK a 0 item weight is meant for something else. Dedicated
methods to collapse/expand an item/multiple items would definitely be a good

You will also have to store and restore the collapsed state. Either by directly
working with the item visibility or, when introduced, by using the collapsed

I assigned the ticket to Alex, who has recently (i.e. since more than a year)
been doing by far the most layout API related work. I hope he'll have a bit of
time to look into that in the not so distant future.
