One more:

3) "Post-scan provides filtering is invoked through the %filter_from_provides. 
This macro can be fed PCRE's to filter from the stream of auto-found 
provides."

This description does not appear to match the example following it nor the 
current implementation in redhat-rpm-config.  AFAICS %filter_from_* take plain 
sed expressions, not filtering PCRE's.
