This brings a clear and concise enhancement to PHP which I would
benefit from .I have been watching our API provide more and more
functions with callbacks as arguments and it would be nice to have a
specific type for those to clean up the is_callable error handling.

It is my opinion that comparing it to previous type hinting proposals
is like comparing apples and oranges. I think it falls in align
justification wise between Class Name and Array type hints.

I.E.
function test1(StdClass $p) ..
function test2(Closure $p) ... <== doesn't this seem more justified
then "Array" given the argument of previous type hinting proposals?
function test3(Array $arr)

+1 from me
