Concerning the comments about what's exactly "auto-captured" by the scope

feature that already exists in one-line short closures. Therefore, this RFC
doesn't have plans on changing the way "auto-capture" already works in PHP.
This may be technically true, but it's not particularly helpful. I'm not
sure if the details are actually documented anywhere, and there's an
awful lot of PHP code that either can't be used in a single-expression
closure, or is extremely unlikely to be used.
For instance, which of the following will capture $a?
$assignedBeforeUse = fn() {
$a = 42;
echo $a;
}
$unreachableUse = fn() {
if(false) { echo $a; }
$a = 42;
}
$assignedBeforeUnreachableUse = fn() {
$a = 42;
if(false) { echo $a; }
}
$unsetRatherThanWritten = fn() {
unset($a);
echo $a;
}
$outerClosure = fn() {
$nestedClosure = fn() {
echo $a;
}
}
