Sorry, I only found evidence of a substring replace operator, not of 
regexp replace:

waterway=depth & name=* { name '${name|subst:,=>.}' } [ 0x6200 resolution 22]

In the source code, this is SubstitutionFilter. I also see HeightFilter 
and ConvertFilter. There does not seem to be any RegexpFilter. I am not 
sure, but SubstringFilter might be useable in special cases (removing 
prefixes, not sure if you can remove suffixes with it).

Anything is possible. Whether it is reasonable is another matter. :-)
