PR is closed - can we close this issue or is there more todo?

Hi,

I've been doing some work on this and merged 3 filters into a new one.

checksum filter allows computing a checksum of a compound field - e.g. by giving an array of several fields. this can be implemented using the anonymize filter but will be inconvenient to users. i suggest re-factoring both plugins and extracting the common functionality to a mixin.

Example 2 is what I am looking for with the hash where we could define a target field.

I like #2. Should we deprecate fields and just have target hash be something like {'cc' => 'cc'} for overwrites?
