--- Comment #2 from Simon McVittie <simon.mcvittie at collabora.co.uk> ---
For 1-1 messages, the filter syntax can't currently say anything about the
protocol of a channel.

One solution for the protocol bit is Bug #30963 but I never really liked that
proposal - I suspect it's rather more general than we actually need.

Another possible solution is: extend the MC filter syntax so some special token
("protocol"?) is special-cased to match against the Channel's Connection's
protocol instead of the immutable properties. We can add further tokens,
distinguished from D-Bus properties somehow (not containing a dot? starting
with a character that isn't valid in an interface?), as and when we need them.

Another possibility would be to define a redundant Channel.Protocol property so
that filters can use it.
