Description:
------------
There seems to be no reason for this throwing an error, but if I try to 
instantiate an anonymous function that does not have any arguments then I get an 
'Parse error'.  This breaks a lot of closure functionality that could exist.

Test script:
---------------
$anonymous_function = function(){
    echo "hello world<br/>";
};

$anonymous_function();
$anonymous_function;

Expected result:
----------------
hello world
hello world

Actual result:
--------------
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /index.php(192) : eval()'d 
code on line 1

It's a function but not a class.
We have to use ()to call it

not sure why closures don't allow variable functions, but it turns out my core 
issue was a versioning issue.  Upon updating php to 5.3.8 this goes away.  Still 
not sure why I was getting a parse error when no arguments where introduced, but 
I'm closing this ticket.
