Okay, I'll update the RFC to be `Closure::fromCallable()` rather than
a function.

I was hoping to have something less verbose than that, but you're
probably right when you say we ought to do that properly with it's own
syntax rather than just a function.

Oh using a static method will rule out being able to alias the
function with the use function syntax.

use function closure as _; //can work
use function Closure::fromCallable as _; //doesn't work

Which is slightly annoying but =C2=AF\_(=E3=83=84)_/=C2=AF

Additionally, I linked to the wrong branch in the RFC. It should be:
https://github.com/php/php-src/compare/master...Danack:closureSimpler

cheers
