string-length() with no argument failed to compile with "must have at least one parameter". XPath 1.0 section 4.2 makes the argument optional and defaults it to the string-value of the context node, so `//title[string-length() > 10]` should work. Use the same self::node() default as normalize-space(), and reject more than one argument instead. The invalid-expression test now checks the two-argument case.

string-length()with no argument fails to compile with "string-length function must have at least one parameter". XPath 1.0 §4.2 makes the argument optional and defaults it to the string-value of the context node, so something like//title[string-length() > 10]should work.This uses the same
self::node()default thatnormalize-space()already uses, and rejects more than one argument instead.TestInvalidXPathhad a case for the no-argument form, so I changed it to the two-argument one, and added context-node cases toTest_func_string_length.
