That looks like the weakest part of the proposition because we already
have two places where inline bodies are used: the mentioned arrow
functions and property hooks
public string $foo { get => 'dynamic value'; }
No sense in introducing a new syntax for basically just another case of
inline function body.

That looks like a callable assignment like you know
$f = fn ($bar) => $this->bar + $bar;
class Foo {
private $bar;
public function bar() = $f;
}
that may confuse users, another argument for =>
