What is flexi_filter for?

The International Infectious Disease Data Archive (IIDDA) api is designed to allow users to obtain filtered subsets of the data. The function iidda.analysis::flexi_filter enables filtering IIDDA datasets with regex queries. flexi_filter is [currently] bare-bones; searches that involve filtering on more than one field simultaneously usually have to be be handled by joining the results of two or more separate calls to flexi_filter.
