I honestly can't see how:

filter lines of X with Y

Is less contorted and more natural language than:

filter X by keeping lines matching Y

The former *requires* 'arcane' knowledge to comprehend (it is a 
significant contraction of concepts - you need to know the contractions 
precisely to understand it!) - the latter does precisely what it says - 
it is actually a fully correct and full English sentence...

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
