I have a couple of methods called from Ajax. Is there a way I can say  
skip\_all\_filters or something for these methods or do I tediously have  
to do several skip\_before\_filter :x, :only =\> :y?

Basically you use one method to tell Rails you want to skip filters, and  
a separate method to provide the complete list of filters to skip.
