Even with a single filter, sometimes the precise context in which this
filter is run matters (e.g. it sets a dynamically bound variable), but
in any case, there's nothing we can do about those problems from within
wait_reading_process_output: in those cases where the input needs to be
processed from within a particular call to wait_reading_process_output,
the problem needs to be solved at the Elisp level.
