[TYPO3-mvc] if viewhelper and literal strings

I was also in need of this and tried what you tried (although slightly 
different to match only strings encapsulated by '', because anything 
else could be a reference to a template-variable or a object in 
shorthand syntax), but I ran into quite some issues with this IIRC (the 
' where part of the match value and thus didn't evaluate correctly).

My workaround then was a simple "switch/case" viewHelper that I needed 
anyway.

I haven't found a clean solution for this as FLUID limited itself in my 
attempt to solve this, due to it's architecture. And because I was 
running out of time I finally gave up and used my switch viewHelper. So 
I don't have a solution for this atm - but also think this is a 
mandatory feature.
