Move variable into the only branch where it is relevant
At the `if` branch `filter` (the `let` binding) is `None` iff `filter` (the parameter) was `None`.
We can branch on the parameter, move the binding into the `if`, and the complexity of handling
`Option<Option<_>` largely dissolves.

Note: I have no idea how hot this code is. If this method frequently gets called with a `None` filter, there might be a small perf improvement.
