(ibuffer-included-in-filter-p): Handle 'not' fully; update doc string.
(ibuffer-included-in-filter-p-1): Handle 'and' compound filters.
(ibuffer-decompose-filter): Handle 'and' as well,
and handle 'not' consistently with other uses.
(ibuffer-and-filter): New defun analogous to 'ibuffer-or-filter'.
(ibuffer--or-and-filter): New defun.
(ibuffer-or-filter, ibuffer-and-filter): Use it.
(ibuffer-format-qualifier): Handle 'and' filters as well.
(ibuffer-filter-by-basename, ibuffer-filter-by-file-extension)
(ibuffer-filter-by-directory, ibuffer-filter-by-starred-name)
(ibuffer-filter-by-modified, ibuffer-filter-by-visiting-file):
Add new pre-defined filters.
(ibuffer-filter-chosen-by-completion): Add new interactive command
for easily choosing a filter from the descriptions.
* lisp/ibuffer.el (ibuffer-mode-map):
Bind ibuffer-filter-by-basename, ibuffer-filter-by-file-extension,
ibuffer-filter-by-starred-name, ibuffer-filter-by-modified,
ibuffer-filter-by-visiting-file to '/b', '/.', '/*', '/i', '/v'
respectively; bind 'ibuffer-or-filter', 'ibuffer-and-filter',
'ibuffer-pop-filter' ,'ibuffer-pop-filter-group' and
'ibuffer-filter-disable' to '/|', '/&', '/<up>', '/S-<up>'
and '/ DEL' respectively.
* test/lisp/ibuffer-tests.el (ibuffer-autoload): Add appropriate
skip specification.
Add menu entries for the new filters.
(ibuffer-filter-inclusion-1, ibuffer-filter-inclusion-2
ibuffer-filter-inclusion-3, ibuffer-filter-inclusion-4
ibuffer-filter-inclusion-5, ibuffer-filter-inclusion-6
ibuffer-filter-inclusion-7, ibuffer-filter-inclusion-8

+*** New filter commands `ibuffer-filter-by-basename',
+`ibuffer-filter-by-file-extension', `ibuffer-filter-by-directory',
+`ibuffer-filter-by-starred-name', `ibuffer-filter-by-modified'
+and `ibuffer-filter-by-visiting-file'; bound respectively
+to '/b', '/.', '//', '/*', '/i' and '/v'.
+
+---
+*** Two new commands 'ibuffer-filter-chosen-by-completion'
+and `ibuffer-and-filter', the second bound to '/&'.
+
+---
+*** The commands `ibuffer-pop-filter', `ibuffer-pop-filter-group',
+`ibuffer-or-filter' and `ibuffer-filter-disable' have the alternative
+bindings '/<up>', '/S-<up>', '/|' and '/DEL', respectively.
+
+---
+*** The data format specifying filters has been extended to allow
+explicit logical 'and', and a more flexible form for logical 'not'.
+See 'ibuffer-filtering-qualifiers' doc string for full details.

 *** A new command 'ibuffer-copy-buffername-as-kill'; bound
 to 'B'.
