.length no longer works #457

Description

Describe the bug

Calling .length on string data in a template throws HandlebarsUndefinedBindingException (or returns an empty string).

Expected behavior:

Calling .length on string data outputs the length of that string, as it does in HandlebarsJS.

Test to reproduce

[Fact]
public void StringLength()
{
    var handlebars = Handlebars.Create();
    var render = handlebars.Compile("{{str.length}}");
    object data = new { str = "string" };
    
    var actual = render(data);
    Assert.Equal("6", actual);
}

Other related info

This feature previously worked. I discovered the current problem when attempting to upgrade from 1.11.5.0 to 2.0.8.0.
