It's not, no. Filters don't actually do regex substitutions... they just
remove the text matched by the regex.

There's already an open bug to add a plugin system for filters:
    https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=662333

I think this would be my preferred way to fix things like this. Adding the
ability to do arbitrary filtering makes for unpleasant UI, but I can
definitely see the uses for more flexible filtering.
