Comment:

 PHP is [http://marc.info/?t=138178649200002&r=1&w=2 considering
 deprecating] `create_function` in 5.6 (~2015). This isn't accepted or
 anywhere close yet, but as a matter of best practice, we should avoid
 using it in core.

 With the exception of the usage in POMO and `wp_generate_tag_cloud`, these
 seem pretty trivial to convert to normal functions. Alternatively, we can
 wait until it's accepted and nearing release, by which point I hazard a
 guess we can consider 5.3+ with closures anyway.
