Closures are already in PHP 5.3 and I will never let them go again ;)
Just try the example code:

Thanks for the update on that; Great to see them coming in 5.3, since it could take a while before we get to 5.4.

Closures is now accepted into 5.3, but its not considered a key feature, so it might still be dropped in case we run into bigger issues,

Closures are actually in PHP 5.3 at this time:
