Having the functions seperated like this sort of violates the
grammar of the filtering interface.

The typical way to do this would have been to stringify the
functions: ip == "f1 f2"

I feel a bit uncomfortable with "ip == f1 f2" scheme but perhaps
we can live with that. Especially as otherwise that would
require us to type "ip == \"f1 f2\"" for the whole filtering expression.

Thoughts?
