 <p>The filter language supports common integer operators <cf>(+,-,*,/)</cf>,
-parentheses <cf/(a*(b+c))/, comparison <cf/(a=b, a!=b, a&lt;b, a&gt;=b)/.
-Logical operations include unary not (<cf/!/), and (<cf/&amp;&amp;/), and or
-(<cf/&verbar;&verbar;/). Special operators include (<cf/&tilde;/,
-<cf/!&tilde;/) for "is (not) element of a set" operation - it can be used on
-element and set of elements of the same type (returning true if element is
-contained in the given set), or on two strings (returning true if first string
-matches a shell-like pattern stored in second string) or on IP and prefix
-(returning true if IP is within the range defined by that prefix), or on prefix
-and prefix (returning true if first prefix is more specific than second one) or
-on bgppath and bgpmask (returning true if the path matches the mask) or on
-number and bgppath (returning true if the number is in the path) or on bgppath
-and int (number) set (returning true if any ASN from the path is in the set) or
-on pair/quad and clist (returning true if the pair/quad is element of the
-clist) or on clist and pair/quad set (returning true if there is an element of
-the clist that is also a member of the pair/quad set).
