So if you drop the '$' the way that you call a function referenced in variable
'funref' is not:
$funref()
but
funref()
However: the PHP parser will take that to be a call to a function named
'funref'.
So you need to change the syntax to, perhaps, something like C:
(funref)()
I can't see people understanding that.
Stick with what we have.
