+" cfilter.vim: Plugin to filter entries from a quickfix/location list
+" Last Change: May 12, 2018
+" Maintainer: Yegappan Lakshmanan (yegappan AT yahoo DOT com)
+" Version: 1.0
+"
+" Commands to filter the quickfix list:
+"   :Cfilter[!] {pat}
+"       Create a new quickfix list from entries matching {pat} in the current
+"       quickfix list. Both the file name and the text of the entries are
+"       matched against {pat}. If ! is supplied, then entries not matching
+"       {pat} are used.
+"   :Lfilter[!] {pat}
+"       Same as :Cfilter but operates on the current location list.
