Because locator filters are supposed to be separate blocks, and because
I'm not interested in Google or Swiss geocoders, and all have a special
way to handle stuff.
I created a Locator (please try it out) for Nominatim and for our
National Geocoder service. As that is where my knowledge and interests
are. Denis did one for the Swiss Geocoder and others probably for their
ones.
I think in case of Locators it is better to not pile all on one heap :-)
