Ok, so the consensus seems to be including my script in the relevant chapter of the User's Guide, with adequate accompanying text, and extending the existing hpfilt() function with a third optional argument (I'm not a great fan of a string argument; I'd rather have a boolean flag --- better for scripting). I can take care of the former over the weekend and of the latter later on. But I suppose we don't want to wait for these for release, do we?
