Binding object instances to static closures

[Nathaniel Higgins <nat@xxxxxxx>]

Is it possible to bind an instance to a static closure, or to create a
non-static closure inside of a static class method?

This is what I mean...


    <?php
    class TestClass {
        public static function testMethod() {
            $testInstance = new TestClass();
            $testClosure = function() use ($testInstance) {
                return $this === $testInstance;
            };

            $bindedTestClosure = $testClosure->bindTo($testInstance);

            call_user_func($bindedTestClosure);
            // should be true
        }
    }

    TestClass::testMethod();
