Slice filter no longer works (with integers?)

[paulrobertlloyd]

I was previously able to use the following to generate a series of two-digit month values. This worked by taking a number between 1 and 12, and essentially ‘zeropadding’ numbers between 1 and 9 using the slice filter:

{%- for i in (1..12) -%}
  {%- capture month %}{{ i | prepend: '00' | slice: -2, 2 }}{% endcapture -%}
  {{ month }},
{%- endfor -%}
// => 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11, 12,

However, the slice filter no longer works for this use case, with no transformed number output. I tried converting i to a string by using append: '', but that didn’t work. In the end, I created a separate zero pad filter, but this seems unnecessary. I think the change is a result of moving to strictly typed code, but can’t be sure.

Try 8.0.3, reopen this issue if it does not work.
