I will +1 this as I have had to deal with some of these struggles, as a suggestion though:
"Like the bind(To) methods, a static class cannot be bound (using →call will fail)" I would like to see this function work like Closure::bind()/Closure::bindTo() and give the option for the $newScope option. > why would you need a closure that is not static, > but is not bound to any object? I think I can answer this, I wrote a project which allows for "hooks" to be installed in areas of the code. I made it so each [static] method has a "before" and "after" which may be tied to it. This allows for things like: "beforeUpdate()" or "afterUpdate" or "afterCreate" exc... The framework handled the installation and execution of all hooks that a dev may have wished to install. If a method like this was available it would use much less resources and be faster in theory because the PHP engine would not need to create an entirely new object/closure every time I wished to execute the method. Simple example of what I spoke of above: https://gist.github.com/allada/b7e880104e3a7eb13a63 Notice how you don't need to create an entirely new object just to call a method inside a scope. This allows a dev to make their closure have access to $this just as if it was installed inside the function it's hooking into.
