No. But,

 | tr 'a-zA-Z' 'n-za-mN-ZA-M'

or

 | rot13

if you've got it. This requires that the pipe option is enabled.

What is a ROT13?

Well, since I'm getting a few requests like this, I'll respond to the 
list as well.

It's where you simply translate each character of the alphabet by thirteen
positions (rotate by 13). Since there are 26 characters in this particular
alphabet, rotating by thirteen characters is half of the alphabet. This
gives the appearance of an encoded message (scrambled). It's commonly used
as a matter of courtesy on some news groups on bits of text that the
author feels may offend some readers.  Those readers (recipients) who care
to risk viewing something potentially offending may ``rot13'' the text. 
The letter 'a' becomes 'n', 'b' becomes 'o', and so on. 

A highly offensive statement to some:
