New description:

 For example we do:
 {{{
         $dataTable = $this->getDataTable('Actions_outlink', $idSite,
 $period, $date, $expanded, $idSubtable );
 $dataTable->queueFilter('Piwik_DataTable_Filter_ColumnCallbackAddDetail',
 array('label', 'url', create_function('$url', 'return $url;')));

 }}}

 But we may want to apply the filter recursively if the returned data table
 has many levels (the case for actions when searching recursively for
 example).

 I can see 2 implementations:

  * {{{queueRecursiveFilter( Filter )}}}

  * {{{dataTable->setFiltersRecursive() }}}

 both are not incompatible. The first is better in my opinion.
