Subject: Remove variable function and method calls
From: karoly@negyesi.net (Karoly Negyesi)

Hi,

Given that call_user_func exists I would recommend to remove $foo()
from PHP Next.

Observe the "logic" in the following examples:

$foo();
new $foo();
classname::$foo;
classname::$foo();

There is a word for this and that word is madness.

The simplest is to nuke $foo(). call_user_func() is a perfect replacement.

Regards
