All section names that also happen to be names of builtin methods of str to result in broken output if their value is a plain string and not a dictionary.
The example below uses upper as a section name, but the same thing applies to the any function name that can be called as a method of a str object like zfill, encode, endswith, replace, etc.
Minimal example to reproduce (python 3.7, chevron==0.14.0), derived from here by just changing names.

It seems that the change in https://github.com/noahmorrison/chevron/pull/87 introduced the bug as a side effect of using
getattr()on a variable that isn't guaranteed to not be a string.
