Your first example on the page is a little weird to me. You claim that 
one currently needs to have the callback method public, although you can 
easily work around that. Instead of doing this, as in your example:

return [$this, 'genericValidation']

you could just do this:

return function ($data) { return $this->genericValidation($data); }

and keep the actual callback method private/protected.
