Message filters (and feeds too, by transitivity) can easily lose messages when these are chained while messages are being dispatched. This is a very real possibility when e.g. setting up topic subscriptions against a
Node
that is spinning in the background.To alleviate this, this patch introduces
start()
/stop()
semantics to both message filters and feeds. Default behavior remains the same, but users can now choose not toautostart
them and defer it until after all chaining is complete.
