I can't really see a useful case either, it was more rhetorical.

For a feeling I can't explain much, I was caring less about:
Closure::fromCallable('strlen') =3D=3D Closure::fromCallable('strlen')

than:
strlen(...) =3D=3D strlen(...)

I know they are technically identical, but I see the first construct as a
function call while the second one looks more like a language construct
"referencing" (sorry for not using a more adequate verb) the same function.

Anyway, I don't have a strong opinion on it.

Regards,
Patrick
