If the input is either an int64 value or the string representation of an integer, humanize returns the number with the proper ordinal appended.


```
{{humanize "my-first-post"}} → "My first post"
{{humanize "myCamelPost"}} → "My camel post"
{{humanize "52"}} → "52nd"
{{humanize 103}} → "103rd"
```
