Feel free to start it; for the time being I'm suspending this ticket. Note that a related RFC[2] has been withdrawn a while ago.

I suggest to optional replace the "function" keyword by a shorter writing, using $, e.g. $f = function([args]) { ... }; should be $f = $([args]){...}; or, if there are no args at all $f = ${...}; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77109&edit=1
