I discovered that ghost infinity chest/wagon/pipe filters can be interacted with just like ghost logistic chests. The following entries should have the note "Also works for ghosts", similar to LuaEntity::get_inventory_filter().

• LuaEntity::infinity_container_filters
• LuaEntity::remove_unfiltered_items
• LuaEntity::get_infinity_container_filter()
• LuaEntity::set_infinity_container_filter()
• LuaEntity::get_infinity_pipe_filter()
• LuaEntity::set_infinity_pipe_filter()

Indeed, that's why the page says "Most functions on LuaEntity also work when the entity is contained in a ghost.".

For the next version I've made clearer what makes get_inventory_filter (and similar) special in regards to ghosts.

Ah, thank you! I didn't notice that that part of the preamble is part of the API definition, not merely explanation.
