I just spent a good half an hour scratching my head.

I made the following error

I wrote:  `<<list-links filter:"[Prefix[How]]">>`

Instead of:

`<<list-links filter:"[prefix[How]]">>`

(I know it should be a small "p" and not a big "P" - but errors like this  
(silent errors)
are extremely difficult to spot. I call errors like this `quiet errors`.

I have no idea how the filter mechanisms are implemented but it would be 
extremely helpful if all programming errors if they can be detected be 
converted into "noisy errors"

Noisy errors stop the program execution with a huge red error text telling 
you what went wrong. Quiet errors just swallow up the error and say nothing.

As a general design principle, I believe that all plugins etc should 
generate noisy errors if they detect an error condition.

Cheers
