Grid filter enumaration

[Hugo]

I like to propose a improvement for the grid filter menu.

The GridKnownFunction enumeration lists the possible filter functions 

Example:
        // Summary:
        //     Same as: dataField LIKE 'value/%'
        StartsWith = 3,

But why are these GridKnownFunction enumeration NOT used in the GridFilterMenu items.
Example:

protected void RadGrid1_Init(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    GridFilterMenu menu = RadGrid1.FilterMenu;
    int i = 0;
    while (i < menu.Items.Count)
    {
        if (menu.Items[i].Text == "NoFilter" || menu.Items[i].Text == "Contains" || menu.Items[i].Text == "EqualTo" || menu.Items[i].Text == "GreaterThan" || menu.Items[i].Text == "LessThan")
        {
            i++;
        }
        else
        {
            menu.Items.RemoveAt(i);
        }
    }
}

I do not like to use these string values in code (because when telerik decide to change them, 
i must adapt my code and i don't like that kind of work)
Therefore Telerik please at lease create const string for it.
Example
    GridFilterMenuNoFilter = "NoFilter";

Hi Hugo,

Thank you for the suggestions. We appreciate your opinion as a customer. I want to assure you that I passed your feature request to our developers for future consideration. Decisions for future implementations are taken based on customer demands rate and the controls needs. Additionally, you could create constant string values which you could use. Note that changing such features will introduce breaking change on our side which means it is safe to use such hard coded values in your code.

All the best,
