I've updated the wiki page for "Closures with objects extension" with
things that are in "Proposal A with modification"s but are not implemented:

http://wiki.php.net/rfc/closures/object-extension#status_as_of_august_10_2010

I propose an implementation of "closures stored in properties used as
methods", as in:

$this->prop = function () { ...}
$this->prop();

[...]
I don#t have an opinion on this feature, yet, I like the current
class-based object model as reading code is relatively simple, with this
addition (and the fact that you can create properties on the fly) we
create a powerful tool for really hard to read code.


It's important to understand this is not mere syntactic sugar over

$a = $this->prop;
$a();

or call_user_func($this->prop). It actually allows executing closures in a way that fails if the staticness or bound instance of the closure is not what was expected.

See the beautiful tree graphs on the wiki page.
