fix(taglist): for property filter

[cnjhb]

table filter interfere with property filter, so we need to remove table filter from the instance.

In practical terms, this means we cannot modify the filter property of a taglist instance.

The fix seems reasonable at first glance, but we do a lot of these gears.table.crush in our constructor-functions. There should be a lot of other properties wrongly copied this way in many modules. Applying this rawset to remove them afterward would just not be maintainable.

A better solution would be to basically refactor the module pattern we use and clearly separate the module level from instance level stuff. I'm currently experimenting Teal. The type system it brings would help a lot in this scenario. The big migration, in addition to being a massive work would probably be not welcomed considering the current status of the project.

It’s true—it would be much better if the language supported object-oriented programming.
I’ve used Penlight’s class before, but they weren’t ideal either.

@Aire-One So how should we fix this?

thanks! mb additionally some note should be added to the docstring
