Research direction

Start by reading the MultipleChoiceFilter and DataGridFilterColumnControl samples to understand how DataGrid values and filter values are currently connected. Define what reusable two-way mapping support would need to cover, including the year-to-decade example, and document completion through an agreed API and behavior.

Description

Is there an out-of-the-box way to perform mapping of DataGrid values to filter values? I have a year column which I'm wishing to aggregate in the associated multi-choice filter as decades. I've taken a look at your sample MultipleChoiceFilter and DataGridFilterColumnControl but I can't see anything obvious.

It's easy for me to build this in a non-reusable fashion - populating the filters values explicitly - but it would be elegant if I could instead provide some sort of two-way mapping class.
