The matter is not that it _cannot_ be implemented, but that IMAPFilter
is supposed to connect and do all the filtering remotely _without_
downloading any messages at all and stay strictly to the capabilities
that the IMAP4rev1 protocol specifies.

A pipe command requires downloading of messages and resending to
another account/mailbox via SMTP, which is _way_ beyond what IMAPFilter
is targeted to accomplish.
