Proposal: new batch magic function

[lalop]

I just come to see the issue about batch and escape. I imagined an solution using magic function, for exemple instead of :

$this->escape($foo, 'uppercase');

We can write :

$this->escapeAndUppercase($foo);

or

$this->escape_uppercase($foo);

And batch as many function we want.

Nifty idea, but I see a few issues.

First, for legibility I've avoided using camelCase for any Plates template functions. In fact, I've kept all functions to just one word (no underscores).

Simply using underscores would be unreliable since many PHP functions use underscores. Consider:

// Is this (escape & strip_tags) or (escape, strip & tags)?
$this->escape_strip_tags($foo);

Using an "and" separator would fix this, but it does make things a little longer:

$this->escape_and_strip_tags($foo);

I don't know, I like the idea, but I'm not big on the implementation.
