Filters - allow us to turn items back on based on filter priority

Currently if you have turned the visibility of some thing off via a filter a later filter, which is supposed to take priority cannot turn it back on. This is quite frustrating when using filters to control, for example, section markers. 

 

If you create  a filter to turn off all (eg) sections in a plan you can't use a filter to turn back on the ones you want (eg all sections with a GA property/type). Whilst you can create a filter to turn off all but the ones you want this often means you end up with a lot of very specific filters to control their appearance in different views. It would be much simpler to have a small set of general filters you could use to control their appearance on any view.

Eg: controlling how section markers appear. Say I have 5 types of sections: GA, Fire strategy, Strip sections, Key Plan and Working
The easiest way to control these would be to have a filter to select all sections and one to select each of the above types.
Then you just us the "all" filter to turn them off and whichever other filters you want to turn the ones you want back on, eg I could turn back on just the fire strategy and Strip sections, or just the Key Plan, or just the GA and Fire strategy. 
Whilst you can do this with a more complex single filter you can end up with a significant number of them to cover all the different permutations you want.... and this is just sections.

It really would be nice for the visibility property to respect the order of priority of the filters.
