@thephpf I read the spec for this, but didn't totally get the point. Can you give me an example of when I might use this?

@deane @thephpf Check the example in the screenshot of the post. It’s especially helpful for the new pipe operator because you don’t have to wrap functions in another closure

@deane @thephpf Mostly in pipe chains and arbitrary callbacks to array_map/array_filter. Though likely a few other places as well. It's a tool that applies in very specific circumstances, but in those circumstances it is incredibly useful. By offering it, we want to make those circumstances easier and more natural to use.
