ElementParameterFilter

Description:
A filter used to match elements by one or more parameter filter rules.

Remarks:
This filter is a slow filter. Slow filters require that the Element be obtained and expanded in memory first. Thus it is preferable to couple this filter with at least one ElementQuickFilter, which should minimize the number of Elements that are expanded.
