    I would like to propose that create_function() be officially
    deprecated, to encourage people to use the much safer and more
    powerful anonymous functions we've had since 5.3, and eventually
    allow this relic to be removed from the language.



Would you consider drafting an RFC for this?  Please also include details on the current (post-5.3) functionality that replaces it.


Hi Kris,

I thought that would be the way to go, and am happy to write one up. As I say, I'm new here, and all the guidelines strongly advised to get an initial reaction from the list first, so I thought I'd draft the key points in an e-mail first, and make sure I wasn't wasting my time on something that had no chance of being accepted.

Regards,
