Comment:

 I have a use case where a generic filter would be extremely useful.

 I have written a plugin to bypass transients on a per page basis
 https://github.com/ryanwelcher/suspend-transients. In order to bypass
 transients, we need to know their names.

 Getting the name requires retrieving them from the database or capturing
 them using the `setted_transient` action and then storing them somewhere (
 in my case an option )

 Once we have the names of the transients, we then have to add a filter for
 each one - which can be a very large number of filters to add - and will
 eventually cause performance issues.

 Having a generic filter would address both these issues.
