Then may be we could enhance "filter" or introduce some alias? Why we have "filterfalse" and don't have "filtertrue"?
Thanks!

At which point it'd be basically just turning compress(iter, None)
into filter(None, iter) and we gain nothing. Agreed. So this proposal
has minimal value and enough wrinkles to make it highly unappealing.
