no.
i have a handler with an existing site that uses the extra_path infor
to work out what templates it shoudl be using for it's output. the
only problem is that i need to use existing includes that themselves
use includes so i have to parse the output through Apache::SSI but
it's possible that the path will be a directory which Filter just
assumes is an actual directory so won't deal with.
i.e is /handler/subdir/ is the path then the handler will try and use
the template subdir but in that case i can't chain the handler as
Filter thinks it's a directory.
does that make sense?

well it's using a location directive (or at least trying to :) and it
just doesn't work. and i can't see a way of using an Alias directive
to fool Filter into thinking the handler is a file.
