Even GNU make has $(filter ...) and $(filter-out ...).

It'a terrible name, by the way. A filter separates; it has two outputs. Does a function named filter return the filtrate or the residue? And I just had to look up filtrate to check which one of the two it refers to and what is the opposite term. From now on I will remember that there is residue captured in a filter, and filtrate is not that.
