Thank you.

You are right.  I did not notice this in excitement.

Yes.  I can see the point and the benefit.

I kind of like the ability to zero-in on the kind of things you can do
at the moment based on repeated filtering (say, first select your
location.. home, work etc., then the kind of task you can do.. email,
phone, etc.  If only I could filter that fast on the effort too.. )  I
guess what I am trying to request is if this (repeated filtering) can
be a configurable behaviour?
