I think the comment is still accurate from the higher POV. We do want to
send the event(s) first through all the filters and the remainder is
through the handlers. This is achieved by placing filters at the head of
the list of handles attacher to the device, and placing regular handles
at the tail of the list.

Do you want me to expand the comment?

Thanks.
