Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A way to filter the toolbox was intruced with this pull request. This mechanism allows hiding of blocks and entire namespaces from the toolbox which allows focus to be drawn to the important blocks (for beginners).
Describe the solution you'd like
This feature works very well however at present it is not possible to remove the "Variables" and "Functions" sections in the toolbox as they are handled differently. It would be great if there was a way to also selectively hide these two block categories from the toolbox.
Thanks!

Research direction
Start by reviewing the toolbox-filter mechanism introduced in pull request #10291 and trace how the Variables and Functions categories are handled. The work is complete when those two categories can be selectively hidden from the toolbox without affecting other package or extension filtering.
