it striked me that al.filtered is duplicating he.filtered, so I thought
we could leave just the one in hist_entry.. now I see annotate, diff
and others use al.filtered to skip hist_entry adding/processing

I think there's use for relative/total switch in other places,
and we could actually get rid of the al.filtered and make
the relative switch global (also in config?) .. in the future ;-)

also we could keep both counts and easily switch on in tui/gui
.. in the future ;-)
