Operating system: Irrelevant
PHP version:      5.2.6
PHP Bug Type:     Feature/Change Request
Bug description:  Variable functions.

Description:
------------
Variable functions would be nice.

Especially seeing that this works:

class Test {function mb_strlen($v){return mb_strlen($v);}}
$type = 'mb_str';
$obj = new Test;
echo $obj->{$type . "len"}($type);

Reproduce code:
---------------
$type = 'mb_str';

echo {$type . 'len'}($type);

Expected result:
----------------
6

Actual result:
--------------
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in Command line code on line 1
