One more thing. You need to define and state whether the transform is
applied before or after the filter, and implement it accordingly. In
this v2 implementation, you have a mixture of both: you filter first,
but then go on to call line_transformer() on the resulting stringbuf
which may be empty as a result of the filter.

It's great that you already included a test for the transformer. It
would be really good if you could add a test for transforming and
filtering at the same time, as that seems to be an areas where there is
a lot of room for confusion and bugs.

Thanks.
