Indeed, because as soon as one property is also returned an ACL check is
required for each member, which is expensive if the collection has a lot
of members, say a few thousand.

I agree it should be allowed to hide collection members if this fits
some security policy better. If I would speak as a user, however, I
probably would hide a document in a collection that is not readable. It
feels closer to real life.
