/**
 * Filters are objects that know how to "filter out" nodes. If an
 * Iterator or TreeWalker is given a filter, before it
 * returns the next node, it applies the filter. If the filter says to
 * accept the node, the Iterator returns it; otherwise, the Iterator
 * looks for the next node and pretends that the node that was
 * rejected was not there.
 *
 *  The DOM does not provide any filters. Filter is just an interface
 * that users can implement to provide their own filters.
 *
 *  Filters do not need to know how to iterate, nor do they need to
 * know anything about the data structure that is being iterated. This
 * makes it very easy to write filters, since the only thing they have
 * to know how to do is evaluate a single node. One filter may be used
 * with a number of different kinds of Iterators, encouraging code
 * reuse.
 *
 * To create your own custom NodeFilter, define a subclass of
 * CustomNodeFilter which overrides the acceptNode() method and assign
 * an instance of it to the NodeFilter. For more details see the
 * CustomNodeFilter class
