At least the concept of code references is. When you want to have a lot of callbacks with relatively low overhead, code references are the way to go (we could also have sort and friends cache the initial lookup, instead of call_user_func() on the function name over and over and over and over again, but code references are cleaner imho). As for anonymous functions, well, compared to create_function(), it is faster, neater, and allows for more possibilities. -Sterling -- Good judgement comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgement. - Fred Brooks
