+        Serialized to the REST API as ``vf_<name>=<value>``. The rules below
+        describe how the server interprets the wire value; ``vf()`` itself
+        does not transform your input.
+
+        Value syntax
+        ------------
+        - **Exact match (default):** a single value matches rows where the
+          column equals that value exactly. Case-sensitivity follows the
+          underlying data source.
+        - **OR-list:** commas separate alternatives, so ``"East,West"``
+          matches rows where the column is ``East`` OR ``West``.
+        - **Escaping** applies to two characters only, comma and backslash;
+          all other characters (``&``, ``=``, ``/``, ``#``, ``%``, ``+``,
+          quotes, brackets, etc.) pass through untouched -- ``vf()`` URL-
+          encodes them for transport and the server treats them as literal
+          data. To match a value containing a literal comma, escape it:
+          ``"Rock\\, Paper\\, Scissors"`` matches ``Rock, Paper, Scissors``
+          (without escaping, the comma starts an OR-list). To match a
+          literal backslash, double it: ``"C:\\\\temp\\\\file"`` matches
+          ``C:\\temp\\file``. URL-encoding (``%2C``, ``%5C``) does NOT
+          escape either character.
+        - **Empty value** (``vf_<name>=``) overrides any workbook-embedded
+          filter on that column, effectively widening it to all values.
+          This is undocumented but stable behavior that some users rely on.
+        - **Wildcards** (``*``) are NOT supported by the REST view-filter
+          layer. Wildcard matching is a viz-configured behavior on filter
+          controls inside a workbook; use ``.parameter()`` and design the
+          workbook accordingly if you need it.
+        - **Ranges, comparisons, operators** (``>``, ``<=``, ``BETWEEN``,
+          etc.) are NOT supported. Design the workbook's filters to expose
+          the shape you need at export time.
+        - **Booleans:** the only valid values are ``'true'`` and ``'false'``.
