I can do something like:
[% SET dir = "/a/b/c/d/e/"
name = "/a/b/c/d/e/d.txt" %]
[% name | remove(dir) %]
and it gives me what I want but I wanted to pass in the '^' and put
\Q, \E around the contents of dir to protect from any unwanted regexp
metacharacters that might be in the directory name.

I can't see one but it would certainly be a very useful addition.
