The View::computeIntersections(..) method allows you to pass in the
TraversalMask to use, it's 0xffffffff by default.

Yes.  Typically one would have broad catagories of nodes that you want
to interact with in different ways.  If you need more than 32
categories then you'll need to use custom callback or node inserted in
the scene graph in combination to state attached to the visitor to
decide whether a subgraph should be traversed or not.
