Hi

my case: i hate filters :)

well i hate the way that is used to invoke filters, in Django was 
comprensible because you only have templatetags or filters to pass 
parameters but in Jinja2 i can register a function in globals and pass 
parameters, then, why i need filters ?

why we need to use

{{ var | filter() }}

when this can be

{{ filter(var) }}

?

i presume that the convention is that the filter get *modified* the data 
(the 1st parameter) and the function can be liberal with their output, but 
maybe with the functions merged in globals the implementation can be 
simplified.

exist any side effect if i register my filters like functions in my global 
space to be invoked like functions ?

sorry if this question was asked before but i search in google and archives 
and dont find any related :( 

P.D. sorry for my bad english
