I completely agree. How about &function_name? Resembles C (function pointers!), and unless I'm getting confused, it isn't currently legal syntax for something else.

$cb = & Foo::doSomething; $cb = & foo_doSomething; $cb = & $obj->doSomething; The last looks like a reference to a property, though having verb method names would help distinguish. Not sure if the ambiguity would make this difficult to implement. Some other ideas: $cb = (callable) $obj->bar; $cb = callable $obj->bar; $cb = callable::$obj->bar; $cb = $obj->bar::callable; Steve -- http://www.mrclay.org/
