An extreme case would be a filter that totally wipes out rendering
(feFlood for example). Another one would be feGaussianBlur where it is not
clear (so to speak) what the actual hit would be if we do not do anything
about it. feOffset is another one that could get really confusing because
of how close the rendering is to what it was before filtering.
