Hello,
Great patch and a much needed feature. One thing I do not agree with is the
point in the lexical key word, seems it should be natural to inherit the
outer scope. I guess the choice of adding lexical and going slightly against
the grain of typical closure implementations like scheme or ecmascript is
that is not really consistent with php so i can understand disagreement and
your note you made on performance. Seems like the right choice to force
manual inheritance of outer scope. But great work on this, hope it gets
added and none of the core developers say it is not the php way or is only
useful in brainless languages.
