Huge +1 from me -- having to do constructs like the following have been
a huge headache for me:
if (is_callable($callback)) {
if (is_object($callback) || is_string($callback)) {
return $callback($arg);
}
return call_user_func($callback, $arg)
}
This would simplify that tremendously:
if (is_callable($callback)) {
return $callback($arg);
}
