Doc Bug #72331 most simple way to call anonymous function assigned to object property missing

Description:
------------
When anonymous function is assigned to a variable, which is an object property, it can still be called in a regular way (without use of call_user_func, or Closure::call):

($object->property)($arg1, $arg2, ...);

This is not mentioned anywhere (I searched on here http://php.net/manual/en/functions.anonymous.php and on page of Callback/Callable and those about classes).

Think it should be added to "Anonymous function variable assignment example" section of the http://php.net/manual/en/functions.anonymous.php page

Did use advanced search before submission.

Thanks!

Thanks for reporting this issue.

> ($object->property)($arg1, $arg2, ...);

This syntax is allowed as of PHP 7.0.0 only[1], which would have
to be explicitly mentioned.

> Think it should be added to "Anonymous function variable
> assignment example" section […]

I think it should go to "Example #7 Calling an anonymous function
stored in a property"[2], as the "Anonymous functions" section[3]
is not concerned with class properties, and this example is
explicitly about accessing a callable object property.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
