[TYPO3-core] Changing behavior of the TEXT cObject

True, but I guess Benni objected because we would have had to deprecate
TEXT instead.

I thought about it for a while and although I found it handy the current
way, my wish to have better code base and "logic" would opt to agree to
the deprecation strategy.

Cheers
