Nit: Considering how there's only a single listener and only a single line
needed to register it, how about inlining this?

[diegocarloslima, 2016/12/21 20:29:31]

Actually there is another listener that is already registered by Issue #3247. So
this is required to keep consistency

[Felix Dahlke, 2016/12/21 20:36:20]

Oh, so it seems you need to rebase this patch? Think I suggested to call that
function `initFilterListeners` then for clarity's sake.

Acknowledged.
