There are so many other, more elegant solutions to this problem that could solve it; multi-class-inheritance, traits-implementing-interfaces, etc. all to solve a problem I haven't really found myself running into more than once or twice in a number of years.

Callbacks are the bread-and-butter of any modern PHP developer, so being able to trim down the cruft to make code more consise and readable is a no-brain win.

I've long been a fan of the pipeline operator, it is such a minor syntax change that gets in the way of nothing, but allows for, in my opinion, a much cleaner and more readable set of procedural code where you can read naturally from top-to-bottom instead of middle-out.
