Hmm, you are right, I was a bit confused and not really clear.
I had first thought that what you had built was to a persistent filter
that one would have to specicfy. But now I see that all you did
was to not clear the filter when a new agenda command is run.
I think this is good - so if you agree, I will apply your patch
and rename the variable to ...persistent-filter

I guess a command to edit the filter, and a dedicated history variable
for that command would be good enough? Would you like to make this
command and send me a combined patch with both changes?
