Review Comment:
   These are some good remarks, thank you.
   
   I assume there won't be a lot of users that wish to use EL for the 
FILTER_MODE. I removed the support for now. In case using EL for this property 
is more desired than anticipated right now, it should be relatively easy to 
introduce proper support in one of the ways you mentioned.
