Builtin Filters

It’d be helpful if there were some builtin filters that were common. For instance, here is my extension file:

import os

def filter_env(value, default=None):
    return os.environ.get(value, default)

For use in a template like:

--
components:
  sqlalchemy:
    url: {{ 'POSTGRES_URL' | env }}

Would you consider adding this functionality?

Seems like they are defined by using similar convention, https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/lib/ansible/plugins/filter/core.py#L463, so those could be just loaded “via import”.

I just tried this with the env filter and it worked for me. I wish it were in a released version - +1
