<sigh> OK.... To me it just seemed better to admit it was an ACL filter
as opposed to some other kind of filter. As noted that was perhaps a
carryover from my initial efforts where aclfilter and matchfilter were
co-mingled.

I will remove this patch from the series and will send a followup to
undo the others once I push.
