+I also looked this a bit yesterday evening. For example this page\r
+\r
+http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Filter-Functions.html\r
+\r
+discusses only about catching thrown errors -- i.e. no mention about\r
+filter function return values. From that I'd draw a conclusion that \r
+most probably the return value of filter function is not used for anything.\r
+\r
+... and the patch looks good. +1 (removing needs-review)\r
