;;{{{  Introduction:

;;; It is often useful  to view the results of filtering
;;; large amounts of text.;;; Typically you do this with
;;; various combinations of grep and friends.
;;; When doing so it requires explicit effort to not destroy
;;; the original text being filtered.
;;; This module provides a textfilter utility that:
;;; A) Copies over the selected text to a special filtertext
;;; buffer
;;; B) Implements a filtertext mode for that buffer that
;;; allows easy application of filters
;;; C: Provides commands for reverting to the original
;;; unfiltered text
;;; D: Provides commands for saving results from
;;; intermediate filters.
