I think language enhancements with no BC breaks that offer a wider toolset to programmers is a good thing. I would also like to see the other ideas in this thread implemented such as array access & object creation. The only thing I do not like about this is I do not beleive it fits the PHP error model. Lets just say Bar::foo($arg) returns a function callback or FALSE/NULL on a error condition. So you end up with a function call to something that is not callable, the PHP way under this case is to have a fatal error. I would rather not see more ways to cause fatal errors in PHP (call to undefined method has gotten a bit more popular since object chaining has risen in popularity as well). Of course I know exceptions are likely out of the question for these kinds of cases as well. These thoughts do not apply to array access or object creation.
