I would prefer deprecating this alternative notation instead of adding more support for it. The [$class, $method] form is the canonical form we support everywhere and which is consistent with the [$obj, $method] callbacks. There's no point supporting another alternative notation, especially if it was effectively unusable for a while now already.
I don't think removing this is an option because of a big BC for no reason. Additionally the string alternative have some advantages: - better usable in configurations - return syntax of third argument of is_callable - ...
