  * Fix Trac #1969: perfomance bug in the specialiser
I got the sense of a pair of filter functions back to front.
As a result, almost all specialisation opportunities were being
filtered out, and no specialisations were being generated.

Fortunately, dolio notice and reported Trac #2486.  The fix is
simple: put the filters the right way roud.
