Hi!

      * Class::__invoke() to allow functors[1]. The class "Closure" in
        your proposal should also implement that method to make
        method_exists() and ext/reflection behave.
      * Change the behaviour how method calls are resolved. Method calls
        on invokable objects (closures or functors) should work.

And to close the circle, add __invoke to ReflectionFunctionAbstract and implement it in Reflectionfunctiom and ReflectionMethod (here we might have trouble with specifying object, so need to do some thinking on it - maybe we'll need another class or augment ReflectionMethod somehow?)

echo $view->escape("<script>alert(1)</script>");

If we use this syntax, and $view->escape is not defined, should we call __call or __get? -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Software Architect stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/ (408)253-8829 MSN: stas@zend.com
