Subject: [RFC] [DRAFT]: Consistent callables
From: danack@basereality.com (Dan Ackroyd)

Hello internals,

Here is a draft RFC to make the callable type in PHP be consistent and
have much fewer surprises.

https://wiki.php.net/rfc/consistent_callables

This RFC is probably not ready for the formal discussion that is held
before a vote on it can be held as there may be some more details of
what changes are necessary lurking, waiting to be found, in the PHP
source code. However I would like to gather feedback about the
likelihood of the RFC passing, as implementing a patch for this RFC is
likely to be a significant amount of work.

And yes most of this RFC targets PHP 8 with only small parts for 7.1.
I realise that it is easy to think that it's a bit early to start
thinking about that before 7 is out the door, but as there was a
stampede of RFCs for PHP 7, I think the earlier RFCs can be discussed
the better. Depending on the feedback, I imagine I would put this RFC
up for a formal discussion and vote early in the new year.

cheers
Dan
