why would you need to support a $this->fieldName case though?
Because to not support it would be to deliberately design in a new
flavor of inconsistency into the language. $obj->memb is a property
access in PHP. Making it suddenly mean "method" is a significant
change (and one which belongs in a major version if at all).

The whole idea is not in the syntax here, but in the notion
that this access can only be static (so there'd be no way to
do `$cb = [$this, "methodName"]; callable($cb)` - you'd have
to call `Closure::fromCallable($cb)` instead).
If you don't like the fact that `$obj->methodName` looks like
a field access then there are ways around this.
Because we still need a static way of exporting function
references (whether it'd be as a closure or array). Other
proposals were using `$obj->method::FUNCTION` syntax or something
similar for example...
