Tentative +1 for the func_name::callable version.

callable seems more generic, and possibly more intuitive when scan reading
code that contains lots of 'function'.

class A {
    static function init() {
        $inst = new self;
        var_export <http://www.php.net/var_export>($inst->bar::callable);
        $inst->bar();
    }
    function bar() {
        var_export <http://www.php.net/var_export>(B::baz::callable);
    }}
