Added a filter method to dicts
The best way to explain this is probably with an example:
>>> split({'foo':'bar', 'bar':['one', 'two'], 'baz': ['three', 'four']})
[{'bar': 'one', 'foo': 'bar', 'baz': 'three'},
{'bar': 'two', 'foo': 'bar', 'baz': 'three'},
{'bar': 'one', 'foo': 'bar', 'baz': 'four'},
{'bar': 'two', 'foo': 'bar', 'baz': 'four'}]
