I'm using `mdfind` for `consult-locate` with

`(setq consult-locate-args "mdfind -name")`.

Is there a way to wrap `consult-locate` with another function or some
other setting/hack to grep the results? In effect, I need to get this
kind of output from the `consult-locate`:

`(setq consult-locate-args (concat "mdfind -name " args " | grep -v
archive"))`

This obviously doesn't work, but getting that result is the goal.

`embark-collect` then `consult-line` or `consult-focus-lines`.

Perhaps Consult’s two-level filtering feature fits here?
