You misunderstood: I am not excluding an API to allow external filters,
I am saying that it is too soon to think about it. The way filters must
be written is in a complete rework. Once it is stabilized, tested
extensively, we know it will not changing again, then we can make parts
of it public to allow external filters.

Anything else would be a compatibility nightmare. Do you not agree?
