Bug description:Shorter syntax for closures
Description:
------------
Current closure syntax makes the code a little bit unreadable and also
shortening the syntax of a handy thing like this seems more logical.
Test script:
---------------
As of now "closure" syntax is:
function ($a) use($b){ return $a == $b; }
Passing a closure to any other scope:
$myObject = new myObject ();
$myObject->MyMethod('abc', function ($a) use($b){ return $a == $b; });
Expected result:
----------------
My short syntax candidate is:
$([arg1],[arg2],[arg...], {[method body]},
[scope_var1],[scope_var2],[scope_var...])
So passing with use token syntax:
$myObject = new myObject ();
$myObject->MyMethod('abc', $($a, {$a == $b}, $b));
Without "use" token:
$myObject = new myObject ();
$myObject->MyMethod('abc', $($a, {$a == $b}));
With more than one method argument:
$myObject = new myObject ();
$myObject->MyMethod('abc', $($a,$k,$p,{$a == $b}));
