Sure, I'll do both of these.

I looked at this, and I don't think so. Unfortunately, we didn't use
any structure for the output, it's just the raw bytes of the filter
with the length used as the return value. I suppose we could append
the flags after the bytes of the filter, but that seems... very ugly
:). Let me know if you want to go that route.
