Was there a reason why column-wise filter was applied to only selection filter and not visual filter?
While syntax for selection filter is: for Visual filter it is mere: I might have forgotten, but was this on purpose?

I believe this is because they both work on different level within XY, and for internal reason VF cannot access info from other columns (because they haven't been gathered yet, I think), while selection filters can since, obviously, the List has been filled already.

Yes, the VF is applied at a very early stage of browsing, when just the name and some basic props of the file are known. This is for performance reasons.
