Hi Dylan,
I recently wrote some code checking for “{closure}”:
https://github.com/amphp/amp/blob/27219ddbc0bbc3fd0db4d7380eaed6489c7291ed/lib/functions.php#L135
<https://github.com/amphp/amp/blob/27219ddbc0bbc3fd0db4d7380eaed6489c7291ed/lib/functions.php#L135>
I agree, it is a bit unpleasant and looks like a hack. I would welcome an
isAnonymous() method.
Cheers,
Aaron Piotrowski
