Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Add \Countable support to \Closure
From: confik@gmail.com (Alexey Shein)

I think it's just a bad habit inherited from Javascript, where you can
do like this:
var a =3D function(a, b) { };
alert(a.length); // shows 2

I don't think that PHP needs it, explicit method is way better.
