Description

In the documentation for org.apache.commons.io.filefilter.FileFilterUtils

Useful utilities for working with file filters. It provides access to all * file filter implementations in this package so you don't have to import * every class you use. 

it says it provides access to all FileFilter implementations.

But, it doesn't provide access to RegexFileFilter, SymbolicLinkFileFilter, or  HiddenFileFilter .

Is this

1) Incorrect Javadoc - only some implementations should be available from FileFilterUtils.

or

2) FileFilterUtils is incomplete and missing these implementations.

If this is a valid issue I'd be happy to submit a PR fixing this either way.
