Hi everyone!

I am building a new version of PrettyTables.jl with the features necessary to replace the LaTeX and HTML backend in DataFrames.jl. However, I am facing some problems.

Most of them is related to a feature in PrettyTables: the filters! Currently, you can pass a set of functions to filter the rows or columns that will be printed. I did this to filter some satellite telemetries that could indicate some problem back in the day. However, since DataFrames now uses PrettyTables to print tables to stdout, we can just use all the powerful mechanisms in DataFrame to perform the filtering.

So, I have the following question: Are anyone actively using the filters in PrettyTables? I am really considering removing them in the next release. It will make adding new features much easier.
