Just letting my voice hear as a "php developer" watching this list
from time to time.
As a php developer i'm heavily against adding this "feature" to php.
It makes the code very vague to understand and specially if it's
spread over multiple files.
For example file_a.php has:
$sayHi = { echo "hi"; };
Now lets say file_b.php has this:
$sayHi();
This is just code obfuscation! Please don't add it. It would be neat
as a code obfuscation technique :)
Just my 5 cents.
Cheers,
Mark
