Description
Google calendar uses a rather ugly in-band symbol -::~:~::~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~::~:~::- to manage video call information inside of an event. Unfortunately, if I set up a hook in vdirsyncer to replace that with something prettier, google calendar automatically restores it. So it seems like it's there to stay.
Therefore, if I wanted to filter or replace that text so it didn't show up in khal, I think it would have to be at the display level, with some kind of programmatic filter that I could pass the description through before printing.
Would such a feature be possible?

Define the desired filtering interface, including where it is configured and how replacements should appear, then verify the behavior with representative Google Calendar descriptions.
