what about "lambda", like in Python?
To most people without CS theory background lambda does not tell anything, to people that have this background lambda reminds of LISP - and I'm not sure this is better :)
Excellent! That means people will maybe look it up to learn what a lambda is before they use it, just what PHP needs ;) Seriously though, my suggestion is nonsense because anonymous functions in PHP wouldn't be restricted to a single expression, which is the case with lambdas. David
