Alternative suggestion (vote for Julien's patch): use first argument as a string with LSB scope name, see my message from late 2013 year: http://markmail.org/message/ogeh33jedumgo5lx. I agree, that all other types don't make any sense. So my suggestion is following: for dynamic methods it should accept object or null. Null can mean that we want to unbind the method from the object and maybe call it like a closure? (just compare this with Closure::bindTo behaviour). For static methods this could be object (why not - it will be ignored), string (in this case it will be a scope name if we want to call parent method with preserving Late Static Binding) or just null (null will be equal to the string with object class name) Thoughts?
