   * implemented if the field  supports filtering.  To provide filtering,
   * the $query object should be updated to including any joins and
   * conditions necessary. The following rules should be followed when
   * implementing this function:
   * - Try to implement a filter for every element of the 'value' array
   *   returned by the load() function.
   * - However, avoid making filteres for non-indexed database columns.
   * - When giving alias to joined tables be sure to use aliases that are
   *   unique to avoid conflicts with other fields.
   * - When joining with the base table its alias is 'base'.
   * - This function should never set the fields that should be returned
   *   nor ordering or group by.
   * - You may join to materialized views if need be to help speed queries.
