Maybe change to this?

class FilterArguments(NamedTuple):
where_clauses: List[str]
params: Dict[str, Union[str, int, float]]
human_descriptions: List[str]
extra_context: Dict[str, Any]

`filters_from_request(request, database, table, datasette)` perhaps? (Similar in name to `actor_from_request`).
```python
@hookspec
def filters_from_request(request, database, table, datasette):
""""""Return (where_clauses, params_dict, human_descriptions) based on the request""""""
```
Turns out that's pretty much exactly what I implemented in 5116c4ec8aed5091e1f75415424b80f613518dc6 for #473:
```python
@hookspec
def table_filter():
""Custom filtering of the current table based on the request""
```
```python
TableFilter = namedtuple(""TableFilter"", (
""human_description_extras"", ""where_clauses"", ""params"")
)
```
```python
# filter_arguments plugin hook support
for awaitable_fn in pm.hook.table_filter():
extras = await awaitable_fn(
view=self, name=name, table=table, request=request
)
human_description_extras.extend(extras.human_description_extras)
where_clauses.extend(extras.where_clauses)
params.update(extras.params)

Maybe the `register_filters` hook from #473, where the hook becomes responsible for building where clauses (and human descriptions of them) based on the incoming query string.
That version dealt with `Filter` classes, but those might be a bit too low-level for this.
`?_spatial_within=GEOJSON` was an interesting idea attached to that issue.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1058072543,

The human description is the bit at the top of https://latest.datasette.io/fixtures/searchable?_search=dog&_sort=pk&_facet=text2&text2=sara+weasel that says:
> 1 row where search matches ""dog"" and text2 = ""sara weasel"" sorted by pk
(Also used in the page ``).
The code actually gathers three things:
- Fragments of the `where` clause, for example ` ""text2"" = :p0`
- Parameters, e.g. `{""p0"": ""sara weasel""}`
- Human description components, e.g. `text2 = ""sara weasel""`
Some operations such as `?_where=` don't currently provide an extra human description component.
`_where=` also doesn't populate a parameter, but maybe it could? Would be neat if in the future `?_where=foo+=+:bar` worked and added a `bar` input field to the screen, as seen with custom queries.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1058072543,

That made sense to me at the time, but I'm now having second thoughts about it.
I guess it's a useful performance tweak for when crawlers keep hitting the `?_next=` link.
Actually it looks like facets DO display on subsequent pages, e.g. on https://global-power-plants.datasettes.com/global-power-plants/global-power-plants?_next=200 - but facet suggestions do not, thanks to this code: https://github.com/simonw/datasette/blob/2c07327d23d9c5cf939ada9ba4091c1b8b2ba42d/datasette/views/table.py#L777-L785
