Despite several mentions in the manual, lots of php 5.3 code uses this with instanceof or in function signature (eg: Doctrine 2).
If you don't want to support this in the future, could this be cleaned-up in 5.4? ( the longer you wait, the more you break ) Possibly by creating a interface called Closure, and change the name of the actual class + implement the Closure interface.. Best Regards / Med vennlig hilsen André R.
