It only contained a concatenation of the individual rule sets,
probably to fix their order in a central place, as well as
simplifying iteration in defaultCategoryFilter().
Fix these two issues differently, but introducing a RuleSet
enum that lists rule sets in the order in which they should
be applied by defaultCategoryFilter(), and turn individual
rule sets vectors into a C array of vectors.
This enables two nested loops in defaultCategoryFilter to
replace the one loop over 'rules'. Apart from building up
'rules' in updateRules(), this was the only access to that
member. That leaves updateRules() with just the task of
running defaultCategoryFilter() on the new rule sets.
Consequently, a call to updateRules() can now replace the
identical loop in installFilter().
Performance should not suffer. Iterating over a fixed-size
array of vectors is hardly any slower than iterating over
a single vector, and while the construction of 'rules'
was probably a one-off task in most programs, this way
of keeping the rules also saves memory because rules are
not kept in two different vectors.
It is also more maintainable, of course.
