Selective filtering - show only lines not filtered by an RE pattern

One of the features I suggested ages ago for the *nix less(1) program was selecting line filtering:
- New "&" command allows filtering of lines based on a pattern.
This filters out all lines that don't match the pattern, allowing you to quickly see only matched lines.
It would be great if iterm2 could do the same. The idea would be that all lines on the screen that don't match the RE pattern are filtered out, and only those lines that match are shown. Escaping out of this mode restores the screen as it was prior to enabling filtering.
