I was in the need for something in the like of Views Field Rewrite or Views Regex Rewrite.

The first one is a very complex approach, and although the second one is very straightforward, both are little maintained and patching views would make it a nicer addition and the patch, overall, was contained and very simple.

I honestly don't expect something like this getting accepted, but hope is never lost. In the meantime, I am happy to maintain the patch and use it on my projects with referencing it on my Makefiles.
