But it is very straight forward for static analysis > tools. And no import has to be done for classes. So right after I sent this, I just realised how significantly different it is all I just wrote. But actually using it with the array_map too I think. Because the closure created and the passed to the array_map has no relation to the items in the array passed as a second parameter.
