Unfortunately that's too aggressive. In my use-case, `bark` will be 
called many, many times in a loop, and so potentially "woof" will be 
displayed over and over again. That will be annoying.

Once it has been displayed *once* in that loop, it shouldn't be 
displayed again for the rest of the loop.

Also, `bark` is being called from a comprehension or sort key
function, so it is difficult to keep an explicit flag myself:

    # My use case is *not* this
    def process(values):
        seen = False
        for item in values:
            if condition:
                if seen: bark()
                seen = True

    # More like this:
    sorted(values, key=func)  # func may call bark


Allowing `bark` to *always* display could be annoying. Ideally I want it 
to be displayed *at most* once per call to sorted(). I can do that by 
removing the filter after sorting. Or at least I could if it were 
possible to remove individual filters.
