Note that anything-candidate-transformers are invoked for async
sources too and transformations can also be used to eliminate
candidates from the results, not just changing their appearance.

The example function anything-transform-files only colors "boring"
files, but it could also leave them out from the results.

So the infrastructure is there, it only needs to be configured.

The only issue is (indicated in the TODO section):

;;   - transformations are not done properly in case of incomplete
;;     lines from async processes, because the incomplete part is
;;     already inserted into the buffer when the trasformation part
;;     begins


but it may be not hard to fix, and the feature can be used
nevertheless.
