Thanks.

It looks like this doesn't currently handle extensions, which were added

Why doesn't this just say "works like --table-and-children" ?

I think as you wrote log_invalid_filter_format(), the messages wouldn't
be translated, because they're printed via %s.  One option is to call
_() on the message.

!=~ is being interpretted as as numeric "!=" and throwing warnings.
It should be a !~ b, right ?
It'd be nice if perl warnings during the tests were less easy to miss.

Why is it treated specially?  Could it be treated the same as alpha?

For these, it might be better to write the literal option:

> +                                                                               "include filter for \"table_data_and_children\" is not allowed");

Because the option is a literal and shouldn't be translated.
And it's probably better to write that using %s, like:

> +                                                                               "include filter for \"%s\" is not allowed");

That makes shorter and fewer strings.
