Regards, Christian PS: As a side note, since somebody brought it up in the past few days: It is not really *technical* issue with the engine which variant we implement, it's simply a design choice. We didn't drop $this support in closures in 5.3 for technical reasons but for the simple reason that there was no agreement in sight on *how* to implement it. And since the current code for closures is a bit of a mess in PHP6 because of the back and forth due to the numerous discussions, I'll have to touch it again anyway. (I only cleaned up 5.3 for the release.)
