Change looks good in general, just a few small things.

Alignment of '\'.

Did you do any analysis whether or not this is needed? Or did you just 
re-add it since FilterOutOfRegionClosure had it? I never figured out a 
clear answer to that when I was looking at this a while back. I don't 
see any need to change this right now, just curious if you know why it 
is needed.
