SysMLv2: Cameo 2026xHF2: ISSUE: An expose using ::** (recursive form) seems to recursively expose large sections of the metamodel (if used without any additional filters).

Note that the SysML2.0 spec has examples of expose with ::** BUT combined with filters. Example from p.152:

view 'vehicle parts view' : 'Part Structure View' {
    // Recursive import is useful for exposing elements
    // from hierarchical models.
    expose VehicleDesignModel::**;
    // This is an additional filter condition.
    filter not @SysML::ConnectionUsage;
...

However, including such filters does not completely protect against the issue, Cameo seems to trace recursively through large portions of the metamodel (some elements of which might pass the filter anyway).
