[RFC] [DRAFT]: Consistent callables

Hello internals, Here is a draft RFC to make the callable type in PHP be consistent and have much fewer surprises. https://wiki.php.net/rfc/consistent_callables This RFC is probably not ready for the formal discussion that is held before a vote on it can be held as there may be some more details of what changes are necessary lurking, waiting to be found, in the PHP source code. However I would like to gather feedback about the likelihood of the RFC passing, as implementing a patch for this RFC is likely to be a significant amount of work. And yes most of this RFC targets PHP 8 with only small parts for 7.1. I realise that it is easy to think that it's a bit early to start thinking about that before 7 is out the door, but as there was a stampede of RFCs for PHP 7, I think the earlier RFCs can be discussed the better. Depending on the feedback, I imagine I would put this RFC up for a formal discussion and vote early in the new year. cheers Dan Ack
