This is the same as the following:

$obj = new stdClass();
$obj->method = function() {
   return "foo";
};
$obj->method();

The first "method" is a property, the call to "method" is - well - a
method call. Because PHP separates methods and properties in the class
entry structure - and because we have magic methods like __set, __get
and __call, there is no efficient and logical way how to search for
properties with closure instances when a method is not found. We
discussed that before and decided to let closures go out into the wild
and think about adding a solution for prototype alike inheritance later.

cu, Lars
