Removal of filters from distribution

[Scott Deboy <sd...@comotivsystems.com>]

Since it's trivial to configure an ExpressionFilter as a functionally equivalent replacement for these filters:

StringMatchFilter
msg == 'some text'
or optionally
msg ~= 'some partial text'

LevelMatchFilter
level == info

LevelRangeFilter
level > debug && level < warn

Should they be removed from the distribution?

I don't think we should do this until we've completed a load test on the 
ExpressionFilter.  Even then I'm not sure we should remove the Level 
one's, because under serious load, a Level check vs an expression check 
is always going to be quicker.  StringMatchFilter is probably one that's 
a better candidate for deprecation in favour of ExpressionFilter.

cheers,
