Interesting idea. My concern would be that these new directives are indistinguishable from filter operators, and yet don't behave in the same way. There's some attraction to the consistency of all filter operators performing filtering. The other concern would be that each filter operator would need to explicitly support the required directives. I guess the question might be whether there are use cases that can't be satisfied with a regexp filter (given that regexps can do the examples you mention from AppleScript).
