Comment (by celloexpressions):

 That would probably be how we'd want to do that - if the section is
 hidden, all of the controls inside of it would also be hidden, and vice-
 versa. But this isn't implemented at all for `add_section` or `add_panel`
 yet - that'll come once we get an expanded JS API to support it, hopefully
 in 4.1. For now, core support for contextual Customizer UI is limited to
 controls.

 In 4.0, you have to manually hide empty sections where all controls are
 hidden, and although it's possible (widget areas do it), it's messy.

 We'll likely try to use exactly the same API for contextual sections when
 we do get there. Worth noting that when we do implement it for sections
 we'll get it for panels with minimal extra work since panels are sections.
