 Filter specification is location-sensitive by design, the user should be
 aware that most filtering operations are not commutative, and thus should
 provide a meaningful filterchain.
 Pretending "clever" guessworking from a program is a doomed idea.

 Issuing a more helpful error message is another issue (which I'm going to
 fix), but is unrelated to the present ticket subject.
