Comment (by gchp):
Saying that, I would still expect the `length` filter to return `0` unless
the length is indeed something other than that. From taking a quick look,
it seems to return an empty string if the value given does not support
`len()`. I changed this to instead return `0` and it does indeed fix the
issue, though it makes a ton of tests fail. Perhaps someone with a little
more experience with filters can provide some insight as to why it
currently returns a string?
