PHP warning on using inline Fluid syntax with object
0%
Description
Using the tag-based view-helper <f:format.date date="{user.dateOfBirth}" /> works like a charm.
However, using {f:format.date(date:'{user.dateOfBirth}')} leads to the following PHP warning:
The property dateOfBirth is a \DateTime object in this example.

however using something like {f:format.date(date:newsItem.datetime)} (without single quotes) works fine

This 5-minute video explains why and how to avoid it: https://vimeo.com/167666466
TL;DR: `'{variable}'` is the same as `(string) $variable` in PHP.

should we close it then?

I would close this as "by design". Hopefully people will catch on that this intentional wrapping in TextNode implies you absolutely want a string value.

Closing it as suggested by Claus Due and in agreement with the issue reporter.
@todo: mention this (IMHO useful) information in the documentation
