Hi requinix, your solution while it works but still uses classes under the hood and more
importantly, it's complicated, which goes against one of php's main strengths, it's
simplicity.

i don't necessarily want php to look like javascript. what i like to see is to have a more
functional programming friendly php.

You can already do this.

<?php // strings.func.php

$Module = get_class(new class {
    public function whatami() {
        echo "This is Module\n";
    }
});

$otherModule = function() use ($Module) {
    return new $Module();
};

return [
    "Module" => $Module,
    "otherModule" => $otherModule
];

?>

and

<?php

list["Module" => $Module, "otherModule" => $otherModule] = require
"strings.func.php";

$otherModule()->whatami();

?>

But why would you want to, given that PHP is architecturally, technically, and philosophically
completely different from Javascript?

Description:
------------
PHP is mostly known as a procedural/OOP language.adding the ability to import and export modules
like functions, variables and constants would mean that doors of functional programming would open
up to those us who love php but are not a fan of oop.

Test script:
---------------
import {Module,otherModule as other} from dirname(__dir__,1).'/strings.func.php'
