How about first implementing use() for anonymous classes first?
Something like:
function foo(int $outer) {
return new class() use($outer) {
public function getIt() {
return $outer;
}
};
}
This would help with the main problem you expressed and be a less concern
for the future.
It's a different direction from what you suggested but it might be a lot
harder to pass a $^ syntax or similar.
