Um, no, *that* is unreadable. The original syntax can easily be made readable
if you do care:
$myObject->MyMethod(
'abc',
function ($a) use ($b) {
return $a == $b;
}
);
There you go. As readable as it gets - just add some newlines and tabs. On the
other hand, a soup of brackets and dollar signs can't be readable regardless of
formatting.

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}));
