Will you be adding copy routines to process objects as well? I realize
that my needs are a little bizarre (creating pipelines for multi-grid
datasets, and then threading em), but the ability to make (deep) copies
of 
a filter would be useful. (Better would be a routine which would
correctly
copy all of the settings from one filter to another, extant filter,
without having to re-allocate a new one every time, but this is probably
not a high priority for almost everyone :) )
