  38. If you want to make work for yourself, OK, but I want calls to support
  39. such filtering so that I don't have to write the code.  That's why I put
  40. this note up.  I've done it just as you suggest, and I don't like it.
  41.  
  42. The filters chosen by the programmer are the application-specific part.
