Hey Mike,

Let me share something that's possible now and it would be pretty weird
with the casting syntax:










*(function (...$params) {    var_dump($params);})(?, 2)(1, ?)(?, 4)(?, ?,
6)(?, 5)(3, ?)(7);*

Will pass the parameter 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 in order to the closure that
was initially defined.
I think casting requires extra grouping.
