That was totally not the purpose of this, and I don't quite understand
how you made the connection.
Like I mentioned in the other thread (which I probably should had
repeated here), a lot of libs/frameworks are using the 'Closure'
typehint for callbacks.
The problem with that is a function name as a string and
array("classname", "functionname") are considered is_callable().
To get through the intentions of the Closure hint, I would have to
wrap the actual callback in a closure - which doesn't make any sense.
