Matthew pointed out to me (on IRC) that this actually doesn't work in current
PHP (you can't call an object property as a closure without one of the proxy
functions like call_user_function_array()). My mistake.
Note that this shouldn't affect the RFC, and this behaviour should be addressed
as a separate issue if people think it should work (FWIW, I do obviously think
this should work, but that's a separate thread, please).
