Filters are _not_ meant to be in core since they are hardly a generic
solution for a class of problem. They are entry points for user-level
hacking. Generic patches should operate at the parse tree level, not
using regexps.

Eric's filter, like any other filter, has flaws that cannot be fixed.
Useful filters ought to be published in Worg, not included in core.
