Smartypants is applied before Antlers

[efc]

Bug description

When I check both Smartypants and Antlers on a field, Smartypants is applied before Antlers. This can cause Antlers to fail since it does not know how to deal with the curly quotes.

How to reproduce

1. Make sure that content on your pages has both Smartypants and Antlers checked.
2. Create a page that includes the following.

---
[other YAML omitted]
description: This cat video is the okayest thing ever.
---
Trying to replace...

{{ description | replace("cat", "dog") }}

With quotes...

{{ collection:pages as="pages" }}
    {{ pages }}
        {{ title }}
    {{ /pages }}
{{ /collection:pages }}

Without quotes...

{{ collection:pages }}
    {{ title }}
{{ /collection:pages }}

When rendering the page notice that the replacement does not happy, the first collection with an alias does not work. But the last collection does work.

Additional details

Also related, when Antlers is checked on a field, many other modifiers stop working altogether. It is as though a field with Antlers processing does not pass along a value at all.

This isn't valid Antlers:

{{ collection:pages as "pages" }}

It should be:

{{ collection:pages as="pages" }}

True, but not relevant to this point, it does not work even when corrected.

I have discovered that when antlers is turned on for a field, then the field returns an AntlersString instead of a regular PHP string, which causes some modifiers to fail. In my own modifiers I now use a $value="$value"; at the start of the method to make sure I am dealing with a plain string.

I have also learned that if I turn smartypants off in the field definition, but then use the smartypants modifier on the filed, I can both allow Antlers to process the content and smartypants to clean it up.

A good, simple Antlers test case is {{ now | iso_format("YYYY") }} which will fail if the quotes are curled but work fine if they are not.
