Hi Mathias,

I would like to suggest a method constant that could be used the same way
we use the ::class one
I don't have a strong personal preference but it could be something like:
MyController::myActionMethod::method, no sure about the internals but it
would be consistent with the one for the class.
Cheers,
I've long wanted to make constant lookups fall back to a closure of the
correspondingly-named function, where one exists. so `strlen` would
resolve to a closure of strlen().
Thing is that classes are weird. We sort of have three different things
with sometimes-similar syntax: constants, methods and properties.
foo::bar is a constant, foo::bar() is a function, $foo->bar() is a
function, but $foo->bar is not a constant. So, if I want $foo->bar to
resolve to a method, then $foo::$bar should too, even though that makes
no sense. The PHP static property syntax is the bane of my existence.
