Thanks Brion. I have switched from create_function (our old implementation) to closures and it's certainly less ugly now. I still wish I could create only the single callback needed, instead of 70 callbacks every single time one tag is used, but I don't have actual measurements to know if this is a noticeable performance drag. It just offends the computer scientist in me. :-)
:D
Well, the way to do just one is to use the __call or __callStatic magic like in HappyMelon's recommendation -- that way you don't actually have to make 70 methods, you only need to make one and the other part of the system *thinks* you have 70 methods. ;)
