I do not think there is, but it makes sense to teach the decoration
machinery to either use only certain refs hierarchies or use all
hierarchies except for certain ones; if we want to make sure we
won't break existing workflows, we should by defautlt use all the
refs we currently use and nothing else, but over time we probably
would want to migrate the default to cover only the local and
remote-tracking branches and tags (and at that point, refs/hidden
would be outside the decoration source).

By the way, I have a moderately strong opinion against the use of
"refs/hidden" for the purpose of "prefetch in advance, without
disrupting refs/remotes".  There may be more than one reason why
some refs want to be "hidden", and depending on the purose, the
exact refs that one workflow (e.g. "decorate") wants to hide may be
the ones that want to be exposed.

If we rename it to "refs/prefetch/", would it make the purpose of
the hierarchy clearer without squatting on a vague (because it does
not tell why it is hidden) name "hidden" that other people might
want to use to hide their stuff for different reasons?

See above.
