I think it does not work, because of that:

A filter that accesses a ref after having given it away is bogus and
absolutely needs to be fixed.

Therefore, I think there is absolutely no need to allocate a new reference
(which is not completely cheap).

I am all for the factorization, but doing it the other way around seems a
better idea.
