Use locals as `this` value inside filter functions #185

wankdanker · 2014-08-07T04:00:25Z

This little patch changes the value of this inside all filter functions to
that of the locals object. Currently it seems that this is a reference to
the filters object. The purpose is to expose additional data to the filter
function without having to pass additional arguments from the template.

This could potentially be a breaking change if users are currently relying on
this being a reference to the filters object from within their custom
filters. Additional changes could be relatively easily made to make this
configurable.
