Hi all! Assuming I have this task hierarchy:

Fruit [Folder]
- Apple
- Orange
Wood [Folder]
- Alder
- Ovangkol
Mood [Folder]
- Happy
- Sad

Assuming further that I don't want to see the (ill-fitting) "Mood" branch, 
and I want to continue not seeing it if I later add a "Metal" branch.

To only see "Mood", I can use an advanced filter "TopLevelFolderName" "is" 
'Mood'. So to see everything but, I tried the inverse: "TopLevelFolderName" 
"is not" 'Mood'. Did not do anything.

I started writing this post lamenting my stupidity keeping me from figuring 
this out... then a hunch crept up on me. Maybe a faint echo of my CS 
studies. This advanced filter does the trick:

- "TopLevelFolderName" "is not empty" AND
- "TopLevelFolderName" "is not" 'Mood'

Now my question is: how could I have known that? Is it documented anywhere 
(apart from ancient CS textbooks) and I was too blind to spot it?

If so: where?

If not: why?
