Comment (by rmccue):

 Since we're actively trying to remove `create_function` from core
 (#37082), -1 on the implementation here. You can use classes to avoid
 needing it, but I don't see that core has a real need for it.

 In 5.3+, `function () { return 42; }` is pretty short, or you can create
 your own wrapper pretty easily:

 {{{
 function __return( $value ) {
     return function () use ( $value ) {
         return $value;
     }
 }
 }}}

 IMO, there's no need for this in core, +1 for close.
