Is there any benefit for projects that already mark all static closures with the keyword "static"? One thing I am worried about is that people may think the RFC removes the need for that keyword, which it looks like it doesn't. Not only can your patch not infer 100% of static closures, but it also doesn't prevent accidentally using $this in a closure that was supposed to be static.
