Re: [RFC] Closures: updated proposal and patch

Hi! Re-reading the proposal, I encountered something unexpected: $replacer = $example->getReplacer ('goodbye'); echo $replacer ('hello world'); // goodbye world $replacer->setSearch ('world'); echo $replacer ('hello world'); // hello goodbye Does it mean closure would forward all method calls to it to the enclosed object? Not sure if it's a good idea - seems too magical. Maybe we need to be more explicit, something like $replacer->getThis()->setSearch('world')? I.e., if you have object of type Closure, you can't actually know what methods it has - it'd depend on $this inside, which we don't have access to right now. That seems kind of strange. Or did you just mean $example->setSearch() and I'm worried about nothing? :) In this case, I'd just propose to have getThis() anyway. Except for that - excellent work! -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Software Architect stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/ (408)253-8829 MSN: stas@zend.com
