Hi folks.

We've recently added some additional reasoning to the auto-capture-closure RFC, so it's worth giving another read-over.  It was also recently featured on an episode of PHP Internals if you want a more verbal case made. :-)

Unless there is any significant feedback, we'll be calling a vote for this RFC sometime late this week (Thursday/Friday-ish).

Cheers.
