I've been on vacation and plan to get back to that in the upcoming week.

Long running filters mean that you need a more complicated protocol to
speak over the pipes. Seems that such a protocol could be designed to work
with the original smudge/clean filters as well as with my
smudgeToFile/cleanFromFile filters. Assuming that there's a way to
tell whether the filters support being long-running or not.
Note that the interface we arrived at for smudgeToFile/cleanFromFile is as
similar as possible to smudge/clean, so the filter developer only has to
change one thing. That's a big plus, and so I don't like diverging the
two interfaces.
So, I don't want to entangle these two ideas very much.
