Thank you for the updates.

There is a possible mistake in the "Inheritance" section. The $this->data
array is passed by value to the constructor of the anonymous class. Once
there is any change to the initial array, the two classes will contain
different data.

Which leads us to the point that this pattern is not enough to do what you
wanted to without changing the original constructor. This is usually out of
the question, as one such change will also change the outer class' behavior=
.

We don't have to reinvent the wheel here. The solution is some kind of
"use" clause that works similarly to the anonymous functions.
