It's for historical reasons; changing it now would break a lot of filters.
It's probably not more efficient anyway, because MIMEDefang always
loops through filter_begin / filter - filter - ... - filter / filter_end
anyway.  You can do a test in filter_begin and use the results of that
test to bail out of filter processing if you really need the speedup.
