WordPress Remove Filter (remove_filter converted to remove_class_filter) to remove Filter/Action without Class Object access. Works with WordPress 1.2+ (4.7+ support added 9-19-2016)

	 * to a static method.  This method allows you to remove filters with a callback to a class
	 * you don't have access to.
