The fact that it's so easy for an end user to copy and modify the macros relieves the normal pressure to try to cater for every edge case. So, in this case I think it's probably right that the toc macro takes a tag, rather than a filter. It allows for the trick discussed here, but keeps the macro itself clean and simple. Anyhow, one prediction for the future is that I think we'll see an awful lot of macros in the general area of creating hierarchical views of tiddler relationships...
