/** supplies a filtered subset of the original data source based on filtering criteria.

    A service that acts as a DataPilot data source can optionally implement this
    interface to allow drill-down of result data.  The method this interface provides
    is used internally when calling <method>XDataPilotTable2::getDrillDownData</method>
    or <method>XDataPilotTable2::insertDrillDownSheet</method>.  If the data source
    service does not implement this interface, then the aformentioned two methods
    will have no effect.
