  //   Abstract base class for the filter hierarchy.
  //
  // = DESCRIPTION
  //   The per-consumer filtering mechanisms.
  //   The EC needs to filter data passed to the consumers, so it can
  //   correctly satisfy its subscription requirements.
  //   This filtering can include correlations, sequences, timeouts,
  //   etc. each consumer can request different filtering criteria.
  //
  //   Different filtering objects are associated with each consumer,
  //   the filters are organized in a hierarchical structure,
  //   corresponding to the subscription "expression" that the events
  //   must satisfy.
  //   The hierarchy is constructed using the "Builder" pattern.
  //
  // = MEMORY MANAGMENT
  //   It does *not* assume ownership of its parent.
