Thank you for letting me know about the incoming patch. Two of the
hunks failed to apply but I'll try sorting those out later (need to go
to a meeting right now).

The question about abbreviating parameters to filters: I am fine about
writing in the new way, but there are scripts run here regularly that
will need updating if the abbreviated form is lost. However, the
non-abbreviated form is far easier to read and, therefore, for others
to maintain.
