For the record, from https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68475 :

call_user_func($a) is **almost** equivalent to $a():
A "foo::bar" string is OK for call_user_func(),
but KO for the pure syntax way.

See http://3v4l.org/rbQ4P

To me, this looks like a whole in the implementation that should be fixed.
But unless it happens, there will always be a valid use case for
call_user_func, since it's the only way to keep working with existing code.

Nicolas
