Can you explain better this case? If you don't want a property to be
touched by code generation you can override GeneratePropertySet in the
wrapper and do nothing for that particular property. On the other hand,
wrapper properties won't be generated, unless there is a property with
the same name in the widget.

Right now, yes. I think it makes sense to allow adding new categories in
a more extensible way, but I haven't spent much time on this since there
are other more important things to finish.
