* An element filter is a type of extension that can serve as an input filter on the element forest.
*
* <p>Once the {@link org.revapi.ElementForest} is produced by an {@link org.revapi.ArchiveAnalyzer}, the
* registered element filters will be called to potentially leave out certain elements from the API analysis.
*
* <p>An example of this might be leaving out certain packages from the analysis of java archives.
