This gives me an idea: each of the filters in WP_Query::get_posts()
are completely devoid of context. Including $q or $this as a third
parameter for each filter would make them far more useful. However,
get_pages() doesn't use WP_Query.

The function get_pages() accepts an "exclude" parameter, which is a
comma/space separated list of IDs. You can affect that parameter with
the wp_list_pages_excludes filter.

Cheers,
