It'd be great if we can all sync on one implementation.
I know it gets a bit hard with everyone pulling their way and having yet 
another suggestion but I'm sure we can reach something everyone is happy with.
In any case, the main part of this project are the filters themselves ,and 
that work shouldn't be replicated.
I must say that personally I probably would prefer a programmatic way of 
filtering (as I mentioned it could be done at runtime), but I don't think 
it would be terrible to have a paranoid mode that filters earlier.
So just to lay out my $0.02 it'd be nice to have something like:
filter_all(POST, FILTER_FOOBAR);
and
$foo = filter_input(POST, "foo", FILTER_NUM);
