Hi David,
That's a pretty reasonable suggestion, as it's less magic and less BC breaking.
I've updated the words of the RFC to that, but am even less sure of
how if/how that could be implemented...

Unfortunately that's not how PHP works. The assignment to $f doesn't
happen until after the closure has been created. That's why currently
the variable can be passed in by reference....but that has the
undesirable problem that the RFC seeks to avoid.
