## Matrix for Filter Results

### Description

A `FilterMatrix` object is a matrix meant for storing the logical output of a set of `FilterRules`, where each rule corresponds to a column. The `FilterRules` are stored within the `FilterMatrix` object, for the sake of provenance. In general, a `FilterMatrix` behaves like an ordinary `matrix`.

### Accessor methods

In the code snippets below, `x` is a `FilterMatrix` object.

  `filterRules(x)`: Get the `FilterRules` corresponding to the columns of the matrix.

### Constructor

  `FilterMatrix(matrix, filterRules)`: Constructs a `FilterMatrix`, from a given `matrix` and `filterRules`. Not usually called by the user, see `evalSeparately`.

### Utilities

  `summary(object, discarded = FALSE, percent = FALSE)`: Returns a numeric vector containing the total number of records (`nrow`), the number passed by each filter, and the number of records that passed every filter. If `discarded` is `TRUE`, then the numbers are inverted (i.e., the values are subtracted from the number of rows). If `percent` is `TRUE`, then the numbers are percent of total.
