Exactly this historical "factory method" part is it. Thank You!

sort of documentation for the previous link:
https://github.com/phpcr/phpcr-utils/blob/master/src/PHPCR/Util/Console/Command/NodesUpdateCommand.php#L62
https://github.com/phpcr/phpcr-utils/blob/master/src/PHPCR/Util/Console/Helper/PhpcrCliHelper.php#L111

Not shure about a "safer version" with different name. Maybe breaking BC 
is acceptable to some degree, if touching and refactoring this to same 
codebase as closures.
