Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] [PATCH] [RFC] Closures and lambda functions in PHP
From: dmitry@zend.com (Dmitry Stogov)

It is possible to do it, but I don't see any reason to invest time into
it. PHP scripts hardly ever use nested functions, and you always can
access global variables through "global" or $GLOBALS. I don't see, why
do we need another way to do the same.

Thanks. Dmitry.
