I personally like the setup we have now.  It is a relatively simple API
IMO.  We currently have two entries to the same general function
add_any_filter, one for input and one for output filters.  I believe that
splitting each of these in two for conn and request based filters is
overkill.  It also makes it harder to find everywhere that we add output
filters in the entire server.  Just my 0.02 though, feel free to change it
if everybody else wants to.
