I don't see any fundamental benefit to having this in PHP.
Unexposed symbols can be interesting when instrumended code (for my
concerns) or simply for security and safety reasons. So, benefits exist.
It doesn't work around any current restrictions in the language.
What do you mean?
It just looks like extra fluffy magic that we could do without.
No extra magic stuffs, just new interesting features. Allowing (require
'file.php')['foo'] or (require 'file.php')('foo') is consistent with the
fact that a file can return an array or a function. And yes, it's kind
of syntax sugar from a certain point of view but it could improve PHP
experience without adding any magic stuff. It's just more consistent.
No?
Cheers.
