This is based on top of #3941 and implements a short closure variant that uses
($x) ==> $x * $y
syntax. As mentioned in the RFC, this requires lexer scanahead, which is implemented here in proof of concept form. The actual implementation would want to also store the scanahead tokens so they can be replayed rather than relexed.I tried getting the same to work for the
($x) => $x * $y
syntax, but couldn't figure out how to do this. The problem is that some(
will be incorrectly classified asT_ARROW_START
, and we need additional productions to ensure thatT_ARROW_START expr ')' T_DOUBLE_ARROW
is not interpreted as an arrow function inside arrays and yields. I haven't figured out how to avoid the resulting conflicts.
