Perhaps I should just add....
although I reference Bug #23022, I'm not asking for this to be over
_arbitrary_ expressions, only arrays and callables. I don't want this
language turning into Perl :)

Description:
------------
See Bug #23022.
Since we can have arrays that contain arrays, arrays that contain
functions, functions that return arrays and functions return functions;
and since both arrays and functions effectively define mappings between
their arguments/indices and their values;
and since we can already dereference array accesses into higher
dimensions (i.e., we can write $foo[1][2]);
I would like to be able to do the same thing with the other three
cases. The bug cited above asks for $foo(1)[2]; I'd like to add a
request for $foo[1](2) and $foo(1)(2).
Please, sir: can we have these?
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$func = function($a) {
return function($b)use($a) {
return $a+$b;
};
};
echo $func(5)(3);
?>
Expected result:
----------------
8
Actual result:
--------------
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '(', expecting ',' or ';' in
C:\test.php on line 9
