They should be immutable IMHO... but the even the filter interfaces do 
allow for modification after the filter is built, and nothing is stated
in the javadoc.
In a perfect world filters should take their arguments during
construction and then be immbutable. Maybe in gt2 2.4 things are better,
how's the situation with the new Filter interfaces?
