Comment:

 I'm not sure we __need__ to do this.

 We shouldn't be encouraging create_function in this case anyway as there
 are possible security risk.

 Closures make it easier to write multi-line functions here which make the
 code even harder to read.

 Also looking at the php docs the fact that they are currently implemented
 by the Closure class should not be relied on - I'm not quite sure why they
 don't work exactly like create_function does that way it would all just
 work ;-)
