Hello,

I am the one who wrote the initial patch to enable kronolith drawing out
holidays from Date_Holidays. When I wrote that patch I was under the
impression that filters were an abandoned concept, which was the reason my
patch didn't feature support for filters.

I just had a look at this and found that all entry points for specifying
filters were marked as 'deprecated'. Yet there seems to have been some
activity regarding filters during the last two weeks. I'll try to contact
Carsten Lucke, who is the head developer of this package, about this to get
a final word on this feature.

Anyway, assuming filters have not been discontinued, it is still going to
take a while for this to work, as invoking filters is a bit more
complicated than working with drivers alone. E.g. there is no factory
method for them and the composite filter demands filter objects, so I
cannot just feed it some filter's names from the preference system.
