Comment (by TimothyBlynJacobs):

 @jrf I agree Core shouldn't try and actually implement LSP out of the box.

 I think instead of a complex args array, we should simplify this to
 allowing users to pass a `callable( $original, $filtered ) : bool`. We
 could maybe create a predefined version that uses the simplest of type
 mechanics. And create custom ones for things like accepting a `callable`.

 IMO a developer creating a wrong object or callable is not significantly
 less unlikely than providing the incorrect arg type.
