I have time that I do not upload something here...

This library is similar to The Filtering System but with less code and more understandable, or I think so:

Nice alternative. Yes, this is more understandable.

I wouldn't mix lower and uppercase in the constants.

You can have the assignment below the inner if block.

Ye both of those are fine. To me the dot syntax seems intuitive.

JASS: 
                $FILTER$
                    return false
                endif
                set this=this-$FILTER_SIZE$

Okay I got it:
JASS: 
//! textmacro UnitFilter_size takes FILTER_SIZE,FILTER
    $FILTER$
        return false
    endif
    set this=this-$FILTER_SIZE$
//! endtextmacro

method pass takes unit target, player source returns boolean
    if(this>=0x80000)then
        //! runtextmacro UnitFilter_size("0x80000","if(IsUnitIllusion(target))then")
    endif
    //etc...

Well you don't have to externalize the outer if block from the textmacro.
JASS: 
        //! textmacro UnitFilter_size takes FILTER_SIZE,FILTER
            if(this>=$FILTER_SIZE$)then
                $FILTER$
                    return false
                endif
                set this=this-$FILTER_SIZE$
            endif
        //! endtextmacro

Although the script is much shorter and arguably understandable, if this is to replace the FilteringSystem it should not only include all features (this lib only supports units) but also some useful improvements compared to the it (FilteringSystem). I could give you a feature that would be good to include in this lib.

The FilteringSystem only allows the and type of filtering which means that if you do UnitFilter(u, p, FS_UNIT_HERO + FS_UNIT_ALIVE + FS_UNIT_DEAD), only if u passes the 3 classification will the function returns true. But how about if the user wants the object editor kind of filtering (The or type of filtering)? This is very useful in many cases as well (ex: spells). So this is good thing to consider if you want this to replace the FilteringSystem.

Currently, the script is just like a rip and shortened code from the FilteringSystem and I don't think it warrants approval.

Just in case you haven't noticed yet,
JASS: 
        //! runtextmacro UF_baseFilters( "ALLY            ", "0x1"  , "0x2"  , "0x4"  , "0x8"  )
        //! runtextmacro UF_baseFilters( "ALIVE            ", "0x10" , "0x12" , "0x14" , "0x18" )
        //! runtextmacro UF_baseFilters( "HERO            ", "0x20" , "0x22" , "0x24" , "0x28" )
        //! runtextmacro UF_baseFilters( "STRUCTURE        ", "0x30" , "0x32" , "0x34" , "0x38" )
        //! runtextmacro UF_baseFilters( "MAGIC_IMMUNE    ", "0x40" , "0x42" , "0x44" , "0x48" )
all filtersize should be atleast twice as big as the previous one no matter what filter group they belong.
Currently, you're having a constant offset between the filtergroups, it should be a constant ratio (atleast a ratio of 2) regardless of what group the filter belongs to.
JASS: 
        //! runtextmacro UF_baseFilters( "ALLY            ", "0x1"  , "0x2"  , "0x4"  , "0x8"  )
        //! runtextmacro UF_baseFilters( "ALIVE            ", "0x10" , "0x20" , "0x40" , "0x80" )
        //! runtextmacro UF_baseFilters( "HERO            ", "0x100" , "0x200" , "0x400" , "0x800" )
        //! runtextmacro UF_baseFilters( "STRUCTURE        ", "0x1000" , "0x2000" , "0x4000" , "0x8000" )
        //! runtextmacro UF_baseFilters( "MAGIC_IMMUNE    ", "0x10000" , "0x20000" , "0x40000" , "0x80000" )
        //...
Could you try and see if this somewhat solves the problem?
