The metaphor of a stack is not perfect, as we don't have any "pop", that
is there's no command to cancel the last filter.

There is some padding with whitespace at the beginning of each line, so
you'd still need a jump command.

The five lambdas I added (one for each rmail-summary-by-* command) are
similar but not identical.  Maybe I could write a general function, but
I find it too much of a hassle for a little line saving.


I agree on the other objections.
