Yuck. -1 on a special interface. What about my proposal with filter
returning void, and FilterContext having a state or a set of boolean
methods that describe the state:

void preFilter(FilterContext ctx) {
    context.stop();
}

ctx.isStopped();

BTW, We're starting to implement the spec next week. I'll probably have
a lot more comments when we start playing with things.
