I have seen that, but my question is about language, not implementation.

FWIW, taking my educator perspective, PHP's way of explicitly pointing 
out what variables are part of the closure is very easy to explain.

The way you are using the word "closure" in your reply is consistent 
with the way I'd like to see it used, though.
