May be it could be interesting to have a syntax for returning from the define scope. For example. $findedElment = $myList->selectIfAbsent($fooo, function(){
     return 'No item founded'; //Retrun from the define scope

I think you actually misunderstand the difference in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closure_%28computer_science%29#Differences_in_semantics The way I read if the difference is wether it returns from the closure function or the surrounding function *calling* it. Not the *defining* scope. And no, it doesn't make sense in the PHP context IMHO. You need to give me more argument on that point.
