On a dataTable it is possible to enableRecursiveFilter(). Expected behaviour is that, if enabled, it would actually run ALL filters recursive. This is not the case.

Currently, it is up to each DataTable filter whether it handles recursive or not. Some call $this->filterSubtables() on each row within a filter so it respects the enableRecursiveFilter setting and runs recursive. Some to always run recursive and not respect this setting, some do not run recursive at all (never).

The proper fix is to handle the recursion in the filter and queueFilter method of the DataTable. A filter itself should not have to take care of this. This will make sure that it will always work, even on closures.
