Hi
Arnaud and I would like to start discussion on our RFC “Partial
Function Application for instance of non-static methods ("$this")”
which is intended to round-off the Partial Function Application RFC
that was accepted recently:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/partial_function_application_this
Best regards

I've been thinking about this RFC and I think it's a good addition.
I just have one question: Why "$this: $obj" and not "this: $obj"? The
variable in the function is "$this". Just like "$arg", which gets passed
as "arg: $value", without the extra leading dollar-sign.
(There's also no conflict, as you may not redeclare $this yourself in a
non-static method.)
When I see $<varname> before the colon, I sort of expect a dynamic
parameter name, but it's not.
Thanks,
Bob
