[PHP-BUG] Req #77109 [NEW]: Syntax enhancement for writing Lambdas

From:             tomschrot at gmail dot com
Operating system: Any
PHP version:      7.2.11
Package:          PHP Language Specification
Bug Type:         Feature/Change Request
Bug description:Syntax enhancement for writing Lambdas

Description:
------------
Using more and more anomynous functions / lambdas I suggest to kind of
shortcut the prevous syntax. I suggest to optional replace the
"function" keyword by a shorter writing, using $, e.g.

$f = function([args]) { ... }; 
should be
$f = $([args]){...};
or, if there are no args at all
$f = ${...};
