 equivalent where possible.

 True enough, I suppose it was just the amount of filters and that I
 haven't got my head around the various `pre_XXX` and `XXX_save_pre` and
 `edit_XXX` and `XXX_edit_pre` and `sanitize_XXX` etc and which do what
 when why...

 > Exploring this in a plugin is a good idea. I'd actually suggest to go
 further down that route and turn it into more of a feature project/plugin.

 Excellent, I'd be up for that. I'll ping @zodiac1978 on Slack to
 discuss...

 I updated the fork again - apart from a major bug where it was adding the
 filters too late, there was a dependency in the Symfony Normalizer on PCRE
 with UTF-8 support, which I've belatedly discovered can't be relied on to
 be available, so added a workaround ... if it's good it should be useful
 for tickets #22363 and #24661 also. The big things left to do are to work
 out which filters to use, customizer support, and unit tests.
