Technically, "slot" is a child object, which is not easy to hide from the application developer (otherwise, slot handling will break). An option could be to store the slot objects at a different place, but this would involve more complications on renaming, cleanup, etc. Not sure, we can address that before our release in the not to far future.
Using "info lookup method|methods|..." is used for obtaining information about the closure of local and inherited items from the standpoint of an object. Questions like "what methods can i call?", "where is the method defined, i am calling?", etc. So hiding "slot" on "info children" and showing it on "... lookup ..." is not an option.
"info children" has already an option "-type" that can be used to filter the result. Is this an option for you?

Hello Gustaf,
After adding attributes to an object, and creating nested objects within it, I need to list those nested objects. When I do [myobject info children], "::myobject::slot" is listed among other nested objects that I created. Since my code did not specifically create the "slot" object (it is an artifact of creating attributes), it seems that it should not be listed along with my scripted objects, perhaps [myobject info lookup children] is a better place to list the "slot" object?
Thanks,
Victor
