Deprecate and do not use VariablesFilter. IMHO there's too much machinery with questionable value in there. All that work can be done with a simple Tree/Node/Table model filters. Associated VariablesTreeModelFilter just delegates to two filters, which can be merged into one. Necessity to provide supported type is strange and more implementation of VariablesFilter for a single type are not solved.
