Filter company candidates by type?

Is there a way to interactively choose which kind (variable, method,
etc.) of candidates I'm seeing when autocompleting with company? Seems
like it would be useful for quickly narrowing the possible candidates.

You can press `C-s [text to filter]` to search through given
candidates. I'm not sure if company has that binding by default, if
no, you could do `(define-key company-active-map "\C-s" #'company-
filter-candidates)`.

I'm aware of that function, but it seems that it doesn't filter the
semantic type of the candidate. For example, with the following
candidates:

    foo              (Function)
    bar              (Class)
    foobar           (Class)

How do I filter them out so that I can only see `Class` candidates?
