New submission from Xiang Zhang: I think filter's doc can be improved[1]:
1. It doesn't mention ``bool``. ``bool`` is treated the same way as ``None``. It is not called. But this is not mentioned. 2. 'the identity function is assumed' is confusing, at least for me. It looks like when ``None`` is passed, *function* is set to a default func, lambda x: x. Then *function* is called and we identify the return value True or False. But this is not the truth. There is no default value and no function is applied. I think this should be deleted.
