It means if you have a function named foo and a property foo that sores a closure and then call foo(), then obviously the function is called rather than the closure. > 2.

How is it broken? __call does not get called if there is something callable already. > 4. zend_std_get_method should be calling __get too, in case this > property is not a direct property! Maybe. However this only applies to overloaded objects. Maybe those cannot or should not hold closures. > I don't think it's going to work out.
