Bug description: Fatal error "Function must be a string" message should be
renamed.
Description:
------------
In the past, to call a variable as a function, the variable had to be a
string: $var = 'strlen'; $var(/*args*/); calls strlen.
But in the present, the message is a bit misleading, since it must not
necessarily be a string: $foo = function() {echo "bar";};
I consider this to be a very minor thing, but consider the message wrong,
anyway.
Reproduce code:
---------------
function badLambdaCreator($argument) {
function($test) use ($argument) {
/*Do something*/
};
/*No return given :O*/
}
$foo = badLambdaCreator(10);
$foo(50);
//Fatal error telling you to use strings,
//while a lambda is fine too.
Expected result:
----------------
A fatal error that also includes lambdas (I guess callbacks work? I'm not
sure what name is the most appropiate).
Actual result:
--------------
An error that tells you that **ONLY** strings can be used.
