The obvious answer is right there in the feature request:
"it could be built-in (as suggested x-trash), like having a checkbox "[x] also
hide application/x-trash files when hiding files"."

Why continue to drag this out with diversions into what "application author
might expect" and "user isn't supposed to interact with"? That's up to the
application developer to deal with (usually using hidden "dot" files or
directories), and cleaning up after programs that make a mess is none of
dolphins business.

If you want to please both those who want to keep the old hidden file
definition and those who want x-trash (or some other list) hidden as well,
what's the problem with simply adding a configuration checkbox as proposed?
Worded as above, it even documents which mime type to edit if you want finer
control over exactly what is hidden.
