The attached patch augments the documentation for

Would you support adding this information as a footnote to
filter(), or perhaps somewhere else in the manual (if so,
where?), or would you prefer that this part of filter()'s
behaviour remain undocumented?

Sorry, no thanks.  This does not make the docs better.  It 
makes it harder to understand the general operation of 
filter() and goes into implementation specific details 
which may not apply to other implementations of Python.
