This would indeed be nice, but theres one thing yet, PHP doesn't
support closure objects, take for example:
<?php
class Test
{
public function hello($who)
{
echo 'Hello ' . $who;
}
}
$closure = function()
{
static $instance;
if(!$instance)
{
$instance = new Test;
}
return($instance);
};
$closure->hello('Kalle'); // Fatal error, undefined method Closure::hello()
But you should indeed make an RFC for this and even create a patch if
you're able to :)
