The code looks good. I wonder if we should promote/generalize it into the modeling part of loopback-datasource-juggler. Here are some use cases:

1. To prevent properties from being serialized into JSON responses for remote calls (This is probably a remoting concern. Should it part of the model definition or remoting metadata?)
2. To prevent properties from being persisted into backend stores (derived/transient properties)
3. To prevent properties from being modified (readonly?)

I think this makes a lot of sense. Probably should wait for 2.0.

LGTM for 1.x.

Maybe add a comment to the code to say 'experimental'?
