Distinguishing array and callable is problematic. Array callable is better to be deprecated in the long run. IMHO.
    Then how would you write an callback containing an already
    constructed object?
    $a = [$object, 'method'];
    The alternative is unnecessarily cumbersome:
    $a = function($methodArg1, $methodArg2) use($object) { return
    $object->method($methodArg1, $methodArg2); };
I'm not proposing deprecate it soon, but in the long run. It will need a decade to deprecate it.
It is not time that is needed, but an alternative way of expressing "use this instance method as a callback", such as those discussed elsewhere in the thread. Regards, -- Rowan Collins [IMSoP]
