Subject: PR 659 / #60687: directly call a callable
From: php@marc-bennewitz.de (Marc Bennewitz)

Hi list

Since the hype-hint "callable" is out it doesn't catch if the callable 
argument is directly callable - so currently using 
"call_user_func[_array]" is a requirement.

@see http://3v4l.org/OYAgk

class MyClass {
     public static function test() {
         var_dump(__METHOD__);
     }
}

function call(callable $f) {
     $f();
}

call('MyClass::test');

I have created a PR to make this one possible and would very like to see 
this one fixed from PHP-5.6 down to PHP-5.4 were the callable type-hint 
was added.

Is there something I have to do ?
(I'll be not available after the next week for 3 month)

Marc
