Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] [RFC] Short syntax for anonymous functions

First off, it should be:

    $a = [$b => ($n) |$m| => $m * $n];

The || make a big difference in this situation.

Secondly, if you hit a situation where the syntax is confusing, use a
less confusing syntax if possible. This goes for any type of syntactic
confusion, not just short-array syntax.
