Hi!
If php-people really would like rebinding $this, I beleive this should
be done via method like Closure->bindTo() - to make the fact of
rebinding clear in the code.
However, there is a problem with rebinding $this - that was not
mentioned yet, I think.
This can be a problem, but since PHP is not a compiled language, this
problem already exists - all method names are only checked in runtime
anyway, so it doesn't matter if you rebind the closure or not. Of
course, with rebinding you can easily shoot yourself in the foot by
calling non-existing method - but so you can with $foo->$bar() or $foo()
or a number of other ways. So I think if this construct is expressed in
a way that makes the intent clear (i.e., no implicit rebinding) then it
would be OK.
