We could add something like:

$where = apply_filters('posts_where', $where);

to query_posts.  Plugin writers would have to be very careful they
didn't butcher queries, of course.

For those just wanting to post-process $posts, we could do the following
after we call query_posts() in wp-blog-header.php.

$posts = apply_filters('the_posts', $posts);
