Write a #function or a TemplateMethodModelEx for it, and put that in a
file that you #import (or #include) everywhere. Or, write a
TemplateMethodModelEx and set it as shared variable in the
Configuration object. In any case, you will be able to do something
like this: qp(theExpression), but not theExpression?qp, since ?stuff
is reserved for core stuff (mostly that's why it exist at all).

Another possibility is that you contribute and then ?qp can be part of
the next FreeMarker release (and immediately of he nightly build).
Note that QP is a charset-aware algorithm, so it need a charset
parameter that defaults to .output_encoding, just like in the case of
?url.
