Re: classfiltercsv: filtering only works on bundle level

ah...yes, just a matter of reorganization, thank you. helped a lot. 

while we are at it...i am just doing all this because of this phrase in -> 
https://docs.cfengine.com/docs/3.18/reference-language-concepts-variables.html#associative-arrays

Note that associative arrays are being deprecated in favor of the data 
<https://docs.cfengine.com/docs/3.18/reference-promise-types-vars.html#data> 
variable type. 

this sent me on the hunt for arrays in my policy jungle. or is this 
statement just informational?
