Well, I don't think it's particularly easy. Generating the filters
isn't the hard part, but getting them inside routers has always been
quite a challenge. But that should be better than it used to be now.
By the way, you don't mention filtering based on routing registry
information in your book. (I do mention it in mine but don't explain
how to do it as I have never done it myself.)
