It would make sense to rename s/backing_chain/filter_chain/, that is, in case you don‘t find lumping COW and R/W filters together under “filter” too offensive. (Naming things is hard. I’m open for suggestions, but I found the “filter” concept succinct, even if it does not fully align with our existing parlance.)
