With open source code, all things are possible, but some things take
longer to achieve. :)
But no I don't think these things are in 3.10.

This is a great idea, please add a feature request for it.

See http://paraview.org/Wiki/Plugin_HowTo#Adding_Categories_to_the_Filters_Menu

look at adding this when we get to revamping the programmable filter
UI.

Please file a bug report for this.
