Description:
------------
Would be handy if "as" or something similar could be used in closures to allow for easy passing of class properties.

e.g.

$callback = function() use ($this as $_this) {

};

$callback = function() use ($this->prop1 as $prop) {

};

As of PHP 5.4 closures inherit $this scope from where they were defined, meaning you can use $this directly without use-ing anything.

I anyone has other use cases, beyond just "I want a different variable name", then we can reopen.
