The goal of this ticket is really to make --min-size/--max-size behave more
like an ordinary exclude.  And the decision to be made is whether this exclude
is "perishable".

I realize that different users may have different expectations about how these
options behave.  See, for example, the following request that --max-size behave
as a real hide rather than a transfer rule:

So probably the most general solution is to add filter rules based on size and
a new filter action that means "show but don't process" to emulate a transfer
rule.
