I'm sure this question has been discussed before, so if anyone can point to me to links or briefly recap I'd appreciate it.

Why can't we make $someCallable() always work? E.g. http://3v4l.org/FLpAq

I understand the problem of $obj->foo() where ->foo is a callable property. The workaround could be:

($obj->foo)();

call_user_func() just seems so ugly now that we have nicer syntax in so many other areas.
