Combine modifier and functions

Hi,

Is it possible to combine modifier and function.
Ist easy to use modifier for variables: {$blah|escape} ...
But I need to escape a result a function returns...
{cmbase->translate key="blah"}
How does it work?
{{cmbase->translate key="blah"}|escape} doesn`t work ;)

My workaround was:
{capture name=spleff}{cmbase->translate
key="blah"}{/capture}{$smarty.capture.spleff|escape:"htmlall"}

Then smarty compiles: ob_start(); ... And so on.

But i think, that it isn`t necessary and is not very professional.
I don`t want to escape the return value in the translateSmarty - method
=> there should be no html-code in my cmbase-class.
