I have been using [Liquid](http://liquidmarkup.org/) with Jekyll and have found it very trivial to do [standard filters](https://github.com/Shopify/liquid/wiki/Liquid-for-Designers) for some of the data.

I have also been using handlebars quite a bit for my node projects, but find that I need to write helpers all the time for any tiny manipulation or having more logic than an if statement.

I wonder if something like this would be useful in Handlebars? I don't think all the functionality of liquid is useful but chainable filters sound like something that would make me write less helper functions.
