[TYPO3-mvc] creating nodes in FLUID - how to?

right - but all those widgets could be base on some abstract iteration 
widget that's also providing a standardized iterator-object for use in 
the child nodes (like the one suggested for the f:for viewHelper).

To make it even more complicated - how about fixed layout presets for 
widgets that apply globally? You might want to have all widgets of the 
same type look the same all over your website without having to copy the 
same layout code in every single extension template. After all - that's 
one main task of a widget. I had this problem with my pagination widget. 
For now I copied the layout to the according templates (or used a 
partial where applicable)  - but I haven't found a nice solution for 
layout presets yet. Maybe simply have some global FLUID TS settings and 
a central partial/template storage for widgets?

And by speaking of pagination widgets. It's not uncommon to have a 
pagination on top and bottom of a list - so you might want to reuse the 
final HTML code of the first rendered pagination also at the bottom and 
not do all the processing again. So some internal caching might be 
needed for some widgets as well - hurray ;)
