Interface Matcher

public interface Matcher

An interface used by TreeFilter right now but may be useful in the future that matches a filter data and a filter column on each element and determines if an element in a list can be included or filtered. This facility was added so that we could evaluate things like if a given DTO had a condition x match on column X, else match on column Y. Matcher
