Hi,

Thank you for the feedback on this thread so far. Programmers are
opinionated, therefore you will find developers that see themselves using
this RFC and others who don't. Just like "Fibers", "Type-hints", or any
other feature in the language really.

The reason why we believe the vast majority of PHP Developers are going to
appreciate this RFC is because multi-line short closures (aka
Auto-capturing multi-statement closures) *are more simple, shorter to
write, and prettier to read *=E2=80=94 and the community love these changes=
 as
proven on "property promotions", "one-line short closures", etc. [1]

Besides, one advantage of this RFC is that it is consistent with the
current syntax of the language and with the short-functions RFC[2]. For
example, by proposing that "fn" keyword indicates a function will
auto-capture variables, by value. And, the "=3D>" sigil always means
"evaluates to the expression on the right" in all circumstances - one-line
short closures, named functions, arrays, and match() already follow these
patterns. [3]

On the other hand "use (*)" has no usages / or current meaning in the
language.

Thanks,
Nuno.
