Description

A such filter could simplify things like...

...
{%- elif attribute.type == "template[boolean]" %}boolean
{%- elif attribute.type == "template[int]" %}int
{%- elif attribute.type == "template[double]" %}double
{%- elif attribute.type == "template[string]" %}string
{%- elif attribute.type == "template[boolean[]]" %}boolean[]
{%- elif attribute.type == "template[int[]]" %}int[]
{%- elif attribute.type == "template[double[]]" %}double[]
{%- elif attribute.type == "template[string[]]" %}string[]
...

... into

{% set template_captures = regex_captures("template\[(.*)\]") %}
...
{%- elif template_captures | length is ge 1 %}{% template_captures[1] %}
...
