Comment (by gregor):

 {{{
 #!rst

 That should be fairly easy to achieve. However, I guess the question is:

 * should this global flag disable all filters for good (sort of like using
 -f),
 * or should it just disable the default filter (which is constructed from
 restrict_filters and
   capture_filters), but still enable users to use precompile_pcap_filter()
 and
   install_pcap_filter() bifs. (See, e.g., load-level.bro, remote-pcap.bro,
 peer-status.bro,
   remote.bro)

 print-filter.bro should probably be adjusted as well.
