Thanks Eric for the clarification. Most of my question could have been solved by reading more closely. However;
> Also note that when "all[]" is omitted, the default input for the filter run is *implied* to be all non-shadow tiddlers, Is this documented somewhere? I found a sentence on this tiddler: https://tiddlywiki.com/#all%20Operator stating "By default, each run considers every tiddler in the wiki." Would it be more correct if it said "every non-shadow tiddler" instead of "every tiddler"?
