...and it should presumably be grayed out if "Use multiple files" isn't
selected, unlike the other limits.

Brickbats to Redmond, Washington - it's modeled after a Network Monitor
dialog in their display filter mechanism.  (They have a dialog for
constructing expressions that lets you build an expression tree, and a
subdialog for adding test expressions; that's what I modeled the "Filter
Expression" dialog after.)
