[TYPO3-mvc] FLUID: extended loop features

hehe, I also thought about a ifelse situation in bed yesterday :) But I 
think the current approach is sufficient here for now, although the 
resulting nesting level will be harder to read.

But maybe something similar to a switch/case construct might work for 
more complex ifelse situations:

<f:switch.condition>
   <f:case condition="{object.foobar} > 2 && {object.foobar} < 8">
	do something
   </f:case>
   <f:case condition="{object.foobar} > 2">
	do something else
   </f:case>
   <f:default>
	fallback to something
   </f:default>
</f:switch.condition>

The viewHelper would aggregate one child after another and return the 
first matching one. If non matches it's returning a "default" child if 
available.

And for a regular switch/case construct:

<f:switch value="{object.foobar}">
    <f:case value="2"> do Something </f:case>
    <f:case value="4"> do Something </f:case>
    <f:default> return a default value </f:default>
</f:switch>
