This ship has long since sailed.  Test::func(...) produces a \Callable object, using the Closure::fromCallable() mechanism internally.  One important advantage (and why Nikita favored it over most other callable syntaxes) is that it respects scope visibility better than passing around a buncha strings.

Changing that at this point is a major API break that is not going to happen.
