I like the suggestion of a "_ws." prefix, but my hesitation is backwards compatibility.  The only "not real" protocol filter I use consistently is "malformed" and I like that simplicity.  And the other "protocols" in show_exception.c seem reasonable, but like you said, it starts to get ugly for some of the "lesser" error cases. 

 

Should I provide a patch here with your suggestion or log something in Bugzilla for people to test?

Ah yes, this is UGLY. Is there a way we can Prefix all non-protocol filters
like columns and expert items with something like "_ws." or "WS." thus
indicating that these are not "real" protocol filters?
And maybe all expert stuff should be prefixed "_ws.expert."

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
