    I would fix it so that we do not depend on the order of the args, or
    at least so that we follow the [FILTER FILTER_ARGS] order, which
    seems more natural.

I find [FILTER FILTER_ARGS] better than [FILTER_ARGS FILTER].  But,
whatever order is used, the order is important in order to support
several filters of the same type in the same command line.
