9520	date filter should not crash when dealing with non date objects	hotani	Eric Holscher	"I'm using date filter on a form field like so: {{ form.field.data|date:""m-d-Y"" }} When loading the form for editing, all is well. However, if validation fails for the form, date fields are sent back as unicode and not date objects. The date filter throws an error.

As a workaround, I wrote a wrapper for the date filter which puts it in a try/except block, returning the value if 'date' fails. This works but feels hacky.
