Research direction

The issue suggests adding ES6 module import support to angular-filter. First, examine the project's current build system and module format (likely UMD/CommonJS). Look at the main entry point files and any existing bundler configuration. Research how AngularJS libraries typically expose ES6 modules. 'Done' would mean users can import named filters via import { groupBy } from 'angular-filter' in a modern build setup.
