4.3.2 Filter Expressions does not state explicitly how normalization of a
standalone PrimaryExpr (e.g. empty PredicateList) should occur.  Compare with
4.2.1 Steps, which provides clarification in the corresponding standalone case.
 Perhaps 4.3.2 could include similar rules for completeness/symmetry?

Presumably the intent is to normalize the standalone case w/ no special
treatment (unlike 4.2.1)?  Something like:

[PrimaryExpr]Expr
=
PrimaryExpr
