I'm not coming up with any better name. Once we release, we're stuck 
with the name, but I don't see it as too much of a problem.  My idea 
about enhancing filters to get access to next_ops for all filter 
connections to multiplex on a single plugin is still doable on top 
(since we don't promise filter API stability), so I don't see any 
problem with this going in 1.18, if you're ready to include it now.
