Lack of interest Templater filter replace does not work for pre-escaped data

[Kirby]

This is somewhat in between a bug report and a feature request:

Templater filter replace does not work for pre escaped data, eg.

<xf:set var="$html">
some.
code.
here.
</xf:set>
<pre>{$html|replace('.', '')}</pre>

does not work while it might be nice if it did.

It's either a bug report or a feature request, not both.

The function has been designed to only work with strings or arrays so this is expected and I'll therefore move it to Suggestions to be considered for the future.

Fair enough, though as other filters like to_upper do work with pre-escaped data I felt this was inconsistent and reported it as a bug
