Indeed, and evaluating the :filter may not necessarily return the
"right" result (when that result depends on specific conditions of the
time or context when it is run).
So IIRC `where-is` instead uses the "unfiltered" binding. So you can
often get what you want by being careful about the BINDING you put into
`(menu-item "foo" BINDING :filter ...).
