So, you could implement the container interface that has an additional
method "filter" which takes an object and returns true/false.

Then you could use an adapter IFilteredContainer like this:

filtered = IFilteredContainer(container)
filtered.filter = lambda x:x.__name__.startswith('s')

Filtered would then work like a normal container. I'd suggest using the
read interface only unless you are very sure what "filtering" on the
write interface means.
