The filter useflag in PHP allow PHP users to filter PHP output to compress it
for example, as euse -i filter shows us:
xav...@xps ~ $ euse -i filter
global use flags (searching: filter)
************************************************************
no matching entries found
local use flags (searching: filter)
************************************************************
[+ ] filter (dev-lang/php):
Add filter extension support
[+ ] filter (mail-client/squirrelmail):
Enable mail-filter/amavisd-new filtering
so filter is not a global useflag, you can disable it if you do not need filter
extension in php, and it is also safe.
