Execution order/future works

Future Discussion

Filters could use an Observer pattern to make extending and modifying FeedIron a simpler task. This would Also free up Filters so they can be better mixed and matched.

THIS WOULD BE A BREAKING CHANGE

I'm proposing adding an execution order to filters. I feel this makes filter a bit more readable not to mention powerful. For example you could have a "processed" variable so an option could choose to work on the original html or the processed html passed from previous operations.

"somesite.com":{
    "1": {
        "type": "readability"
    },
    "2": {
        "type": "insert",
        "string": "<br>"
    },
    "3": {
        "type": "xpath",
        "processed": false,
        "xpath": "article",
        "cleanup": "h2"
    },
    "join_element": "<p>",
    "cleanup": ["~<script([^<]|<(?!/script))*</script>~msi"],
    "debug": true
}

On Hold till after initial Module work is completed

Now that the Initial initial Module work is completed execution order work is underway. Replacing the current module loading with an Observer Pattern can be introduced at a later date

I was just about to ask if this was possible, when I came upon this issue. This would be an excellent addition.

Is it possible to do anything similar currently? My main wish is to use a different join_element for different elements, so I tried to use multiple xpath filters (similar to your example, not by using an array), but I couldn't get it working.

I haven't merged this into master yet as it's a general work in progress and has several issues to sort out. Unfortunately I've not had a much free time recently to push this forward.
