I fail to see how that is an advantage. You can just as well create
multiple instances of those single-stream filters instead of adding
hacks into core APIs.

"possibly" is not a strong enough argument. I'd like to hear at least
one clearly-defined use case that cannot just as well be handled by
using multiple streams.
