OK.  Annotaded here for the records.

Me either, but I don't like code duplication either:  Macros are a
convenient way to avoid that.  Unless you have something sound in mind...

Following patch adds a key :composable, which also serves as
documentation.

    Ibuffer filter by modes: Accept several mode names
    
    Extend all mode filters so that they handle >1 mode.
    For instance, if the user wants to filter all buffers in
    C or C++ mode, then s?he can call the filter interactively
    with input: 'c-mode,c++-mode'.
    
    * lisp/ibuf-macs.el(define-ibuffer-filter): Add key :composable.
    If the value of this key is non-nil, then the filter accepts
    a single qualifier or a list of them; in the latter case, the
    resultant filter is the `or' composition of the individual ones.
    
    * lisp/ibuf-ext.el (ibuffer-filter-by-used-mode)
    (ibuffer-filter-by-mode, ibuffer-filter-by-derived-mode)
    Accept a mode name or a list of mode names.
    Interactively, accept a comma separated list of mode names.
    Set :composable value non-nil.
    
    * etc/NEWS(Ibuffer): Announce this change.
