There's definitely similarity, but I would say it sits somewhere between the two. Rather than reference a partial method call, or create a closure for a method, you're delaying a method call. Or rather, referencing a method. We have the ::class pseudo property, so I see this like an equivalent, but for methods.

If you create a closure from Str::someMethod($arg1, $arg2) where someMethod isn't static, it should create a closure with the signature fn(Str $object, $arg1, $arg2), which would wrap a call to [$object, 'someMethod]($arg1, $arg2).
