Possibility to disable containment-check of a shape object

[GoogleCodeExporter]

A use-case for this feature is the group element of BPMN. Currently, there
are only the two options: to forbid or to allow to add any other object.
But both is not expected by the modeler. If everything is forbidden to add,
than it is difficult to put new objects to an existing group. The allow
anything option makes it unusable, if you want to delete a group, because
everything inside is going to delete too.

Therefore it would be nice, if you can disable the containment-check, maybe
over a flag in the JSON-File or over the definition, that transparent parts
of shape are not part of it. For instance: a BPMN-group element only
consists of an enclosed dashed line without the area (rectangle) inside.
Imagine it as an area with gaps inside.
