I'm not so sure about this anymore..
As Sebastian stated correctly: there seems to be no real use case for 
this: For format view helpers the use of static strings makes no sense - 
except maybe for the date view helper, and even there
{'now' -> f:format.date(format: 'Y')}
is weird and should rather be
{f:format.date(date: 'now', format: 'Y')}

So I recap and suggest to adjust the following four view helpers:

uri.resource:
from
{foo -> f:uri.resource()}
to
{f:uri.resource(path: foo)}


cObject (v4 only):
from
{foo -> f:cObject(typoscriptObjectPath: 'lib.myCustomCObject')}
to
{f:cObject(data: foo, typoscriptObjectPath: 'lib.myCustomCObject')}


format.date:
from
{foo -> f:format.date(format: 'Y')}
to
{f:format.date(date: foo, format: 'Y')}


format.translate:
from
{foo -> f:format.translate(key: 'bar')}  // here, {foo} would be the 
fallback - not very intuitive
to
{f:format.translate(default: foo, key: 'bar')}

comments?
