Christian experimented with a GtkListBox-based sidebar for Builder [1]
- could be relevant.

I've tried it in Freya, so have a better idea now. I'm not sure this
is something we'd want to use widely in GNOME - expanders like this
are something we try to avoid (that's not a comment on whether this
should go in GTK+ per se).

I've done a bit of work on time and date selection widgets [2] in the
past couple of days, by the way - could be relevant for this
discussion.
