Summary: win32ui.CreateFileDialog() should not need explicit "filter"

Initial Comment:
The PythonWin reference states that the "filter" argument may be None, which is its default value.
But: When I omit the argument, I get "TypeError: None is not a valid string in this context".

This is especially annoying because the method does not take keyword arguments, and "filter" is the last argument. So I have to fill out all arguments instead of simply calling CreateFileDialog(1).

I am using pywin32 build 214: "PythonWin 3.1.2 (r312:79149, Mar 21 2010, 00:41:52) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32."
