Exactly. The problem is that it's the back end that knows what is  
needed here. Therefore, these decisions should not be hard wired into  
the front end. Instead, the relevant information should be made  
available to the back end. And it's easier to implement that way anyway.

My offer still stands: write a primitive in C to make the required  
list of lists of lists, and I'll write the filters in Scheme.
