The Go Jsonnet implementation already implements objectRemoveKey as a builtin and retains hidden fields, this brings the C++ Jsonnet into alignment. This implementation is a little tricky because lazy evaluation means that objects are not simple structures but form an inheritance tree. However, it's not too bad as the code is generally happy to strictly enumerate the object's field list without necessarily evaluating field values, and for
std.objectRemoveKeyall we need is the field list. Arguably we could even do without that by just storing the set of fields to be removed, but I'd prefer to keep things 'simpler' with a flat field list.See google/go-jsonnet#830
