Well, if there's no filter specified it has nothing to do, so erroring 
out in the no-arguments-at-all case would be sensible.

Actually, not erroring out but just returning doing nothing (if there 
truly isn't anything to do -- iow, the filtering operation turns out to 
be identity function) would be more sensible.

No filter does not necessarily mean identity, by the way.  Think 
"grafts" ;-).

Yeah.  Having slept over it, I agree that there is a sensible default 
action, and only one.
