Okay, I'll update the RFC to be Closure::fromCallable() rather than a function. I was hoping to have something less verbose than that, but you're probably right when you say we ought to do that properly with it's own syntax rather than just a function. Oh using a static method will rule out being able to alias the function with the use function syntax. use function closure as _; //can work use function Closure::fromCallable as _; //doesn't work Which is slightly annoying but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Additionally, I linked to the wrong branch in the RFC. It should be: https://github.com/php/php-src/compare/master...Danack:closureSimpler cheers Dan
