"represent" only affects how the value is displayed in forms (including
read-only forms) and the grid, whereas "filter_out" is applied when the
database result is parsed into the Rows object, so it affects everywhere
the value might be used or displayed. "represent" is often used with
reference fields, which typically makes more sense than using "filter_out"
because although you may want to display the reference field differently,
you probably still want to retain the original id value as well
("filter_out" replaces the original value with the transformed value).
