Documentation incorrectly states that filter arguments should be quoted

Description

(Found here: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/templates/#filters )

Documentation mentions that all arguments to filters should be quoted when it clearly isn't needed.

Regression tests for truncateword and others pass ints to filters, which made me ask people on IRC which was correct - docs or tests.
I was told that docs was incorrect and couldn't find another ticket about this - so here it is.

Just to be clear, we're talking about passing strings to filters -- the documentation does incorrectly say "Filter arguments always are in double quotes."

Am i missing something - isn't this only about punting that specific sentence?

The attached patch removes the part about quoting in the docs, and adds a test to check that filter arguments can be numeric.

(In [5436]) Fixed #4000 - changed documentation to note that filter arguments no longer need to be quoted (and added a test to that effect). Thanks, SmileyChris.
