Long running filters mean that you need a more complicated protocol to speak over the pipes. Seems that such a protocol could be designed to work with the original smudge/clean filters as well as with my smudgeToFile/cleanFromFile filters. Assuming that there's a way to tell whether the filters support being long-running or not. Note that the interface we arrived at for smudgeToFile/cleanFromFile is as similar as possible to smudge/clean, so the filter developer only has to change one thing. That's a big plus, and so I don't like diverging the two interfaces. So, I don't want to entangle these two ideas very much. -- see shy jo
