array_filter($my_data, function($test){ return 3 === ($test % 4) });
What's wrong with regular functions?

At risk of wading into yet circular another discussion on internals@, I was part of the original thread on this subject, and I agree with Stas here: unless they're real closure, they're pretty useless.

Apart from saving a few keystrokes, the above could easily be changed to the following, which is much more clear, DOES compile at compile- time, and works without adding a new construct that looks like a closure, but is not indeed one:

function aiusdyasdjkhasdIMASHEDTHEKEYBOARD($test){ return 3 === ($test % 4) }
array_filter($my_data, 'aiusdyasdjkhasdIMASHEDTHEKEYBOARD');

// I copy & pasted the callback name; aren't modern computers fascinating?! (-:
