public interface ImportFilter
```
Definition of a source filter - a class that filters out importable items idenfitied from the source directory from the import. Note that source filters can be "chained", in which case each source filter effectively has "veto" power - if any single filter requests that a given importable item be filtered, it will be filtered.
