On a second thought, the above is not quite correct as written. What I
had in mind was something like running -ext:keyboard through hybrid mask
and end it with -ext:filter_rot13. That obviously doesn't work (stacked
or not). We don't have any option syntax that supports it, for a starter.
However, an external mode that has both generate() and filter() *will*
work just fine (with exception of GPU mask as mentioned) with stacked
modes inbetween. Note though that some modes may REALLY not expect the
candidates to have been altered (and even "amplified") between
generation and filter.
