Short answer, not yet.

Slightly longer answer follows.

The problem is that the different flavors of filter handlers need to
be identified, and at that point, all that we got it a CV *.

Using the hack you pointed out, we were able to piggyback to some
unused portion of the CV*. Unfortunately, in 5.10, that field is now
a union between 2 fields, so that no longer holds true.

The solution will be to either find a new way to attach this information
to a CV (I looked around, and nothing jumped at me), or we'll have to switch
to storing this information separate of the CV itself (a cleaner, but potentially
annoying solution).

So for now, there is not much of a solution, but there will be one!
