Hey Lex.
I knew FilteredCeleste was good stuff, but I hadn't thought of that use
case...
I really think it's a good addition to Celeste.

Do you intend to put the finishes on it soon enough for an integration
soon?
Or do you prefer to wait for after the next integration to add it in
peace?

BTW, IMHO it'd be a good idea to leave it as a subclass for a while, so
people can choose which mode they prefer.
