filter_dict
         Usage:  $filtered_dict = STAR::Filter->filter_dict(
                                    -dict=>$dict,
                                    -options=>$options);

       A (very simplistic) interactive method for filtering a STAR::Dictionary object (.cob file). The user is
       prompted for each category whether to include (retain) it in the filtered object. The method returns a
       reference to the filtered (reduced) STAR::Dictionary object.

       Note: This method is preliminary and subject to change.

   filter_through_dict
         Usage:  $filtered_data = STAR::Filter->filter_through_dict(
                                    -data=>$data,
                                    -dict=>$dict,
                                    -options=>$options);

       Filters an STAR::DataBlock object through a STAR::Dictionary object.  Returns a reference to a new
       STAR::DataBlock object in which only those items are included which were defined in the specified
       dictionary.
