In fact, rather than a brand new filter, I'd recommend adding an optional 
suffix to modify the existing behaviour of the ‘each' filter — I did something 
similar when fixing a similar problem with the "tag” filter.

Perhaps here we could say that the existing behaviour is equivalent to 
"each:tiddler", and the new behaviour is "each:value"

Best wishes

Jeremy
