Actually it should already be possible to use `@JsonIgnoreProperties`
for properties as is, but I think it only affects property value
itself, and not contents of containers.
But it seems reasonable to assume that since Lists/arrays/Maps do not
have properties of their own (except in non-standard case of being
serialized "as POJOs"...), this annotation would refer to values. This
is similar to how `@JsonTypeInfo` works.
If there isn't yet an issue to support this, could you please file one
for `jackson-databind`.
I don't know how easy it would be to support this, but conceptually it
seems straightforward.
