The SetDiscoveryFilter method already has UUIDs, RSSI, Pathloss and
Transport filters.
I was wondering if it would be possible to add "name" and "namePrefix"
filters to this list?
I'm shamelessly asking this because the Web Bluetooth API has added
these filters: http://webbluetoothcg.github.io/web-bluetooth/#dictdef-bluetoothscanfilter
You're right.
As discussed on a separate thread with Jakub, instead of two filters
we might want to add one unique filter "nameRegexp" that would take a
regular expression to filter against bluetooth device names.
What do you think?

I guess we can extend with more filters but Im afraid having 2 filters
like that can be confusing, what if name and prefix are set? Shall it
can an error? What should be the logic AND or OR operation? I guess
like with the other we need a merge strategy if multiple clients set a
filter with different names.
