This was an interesting read, and I think replicates the system that is
currently here. I think that the filter system is great, but if it is
context based, we can have a much clean UI and will allow developers to
use filters in more places without adding unnecessary information to
other parts of the system.

eg. If I was to make a E-Commerce Transaction filter to allow adding of
additional information on emails that are sent out, which the filter
system would be perfect for, would just be additional junk that a user
doesn't need to see when creating creating a node.

I have taken a look at this patch and it is similar to what I want, but
it need to be a lot more generalised.

ATM this patch makes it a lot more node orientated, where I would like
to a lot more generic so that it can be used a lot more throughout the
system.
