This one is clearly ridiculous.

So you will have to define one function for all possible FILTERs, 
including those taking parameters?


> Variant 1.3: introduce scalar operators for the same:

I don't like this one. I'm not even sure this will work as foo.html will 
be seen as html() being a method of the foo object, which is not the case.

No idea what you try to do here, but not all strings use FILTER html.

 From a developer point of view, I like none of these alternatives. Look 
at the developers/localizers ratio: there are hundreds of developers, 
compared to maybe ten localizers or so. And you are making life really 
difficult for developers to make life a *little* bit easier for a few 
localizers. I don't see this as being an improvement.
Now from a reviewer point of view: it would be a real pain to have to 
review patches with tens of such lines of code. It's really prone to errors.
So I'm still very septical with all this stuff.
