+***** filter advice
+In order to implement the =hasprop= filter the functions, =org-agenda-filter-make-matcher= and =org-agenda-filter-remove-all= need to be advised in order to add the functionality for the =hasprop= filter type. 
+
+As it is, this allows any filter using =hasprop= to be applied and removed using the standard =org-agenda-filter-apply= function with the =org-agenda-hasprop-filter= variable (obviously these can all be extended to different filter types). Note this does not give a shiny indicator at the bottom on spaceline like the built-in filter does...oh well.
