I want to ignore the change int->double (i.e., if there’s a double where there

It's not, no. Filters don't actually do regex substitutions... they just remove
the text matched by the regex.
If not, please add its generalization, i.e., ignoring a specific change, to the
“feature request” list. J Thanks!
There's already an open bug to add a plugin system for filters:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=662333
I think this would be my preferred way to fix things like this. Adding the
ability to do arbitrary filtering makes for unpleasant UI, but I can definitely
see the uses for more flexible filtering.
cheers,
Kai
OK, good to know. And I see that the code base is in Python! Yippee: I’ll see
what I can do to at least implement my desired feature.
