For FILTER_CALLBACK, I can see it being useful in the extended mode of filter_var_array, where a
separate filter and options can be defined for each key in the subject array. This allows you to
build up a set of filters in advance, using callbacks for advanced cases; or even to recurse into
another filter_var_array call on sub-arrays.
I am not a huge fan of the filter extension, but don't see any particular reason to remove this
one feature of it.
