[stringtemplate-interest] The length of things

Hi All,

I have a getFoo() method in my model which returns an array. I was sort 
of expecting that I could access the length of this array in 
StringTemplate using something along the lines of:

   $obj.foo.length$

However, this doesn't work: I get a NoSuchField exception because length 
is supposedly not a field of the thing returned by getFoo().

Is this behaviour intentional, and if so, is there any mechanism for 
getting the length of my array, or must I add some sort of hasSomeFoo() 
method to my model?

Cheers,

Tom
