It took me some time to find out why it didn't work as advertised.
And it's not our usual practice to advertise things that might work
only if they were implemented.  As far as the face code is concerned,
I now got the feeling that it's strictly for connoisseurs only.

It's probably the remapped face that would get filtered here but I
have no idea about how such filters would be used in practice.
