Understood - I can drop it, but then it's different than what I've
already done in nwfilter, secret, nodedevice, and storage.

"Originally" there was an ACL Filter and a "match" filter - the various
Export API's have a Match API which take 2 params (obj, flags) and
returns a bool. If there was a really common object, then that function
could be added as a filter callback function in a very generic export
function.
