Description vikingofspiking CLA 2004-06-02 13:53:25 EDT 
I just noticed a code change from M8 to M9 where isExpandable now fetches
subnodes of a node that's being expanded if a filter has been set.

This is a problem for us, as we don't want to fetch all those children when
we're connected to the server.  The user can end up waiting for minutes while
this takes place.

Some way of disabling this feature is critical; for now I've just disabled our 
filter and I do our filtering in the provider.

You can override isExpandable. Without this behaviour the filtered viewers are 
never right.

A couple of slow viewers in Eclipse just override this method.
