Allow use AS in the closure declaration, like:

<?php
  $foo = "bar";
 
  $func = function () ues ($foo as $dup, &$foo as $ref) { //alias name
  };
 

I have made a patch, but for now, it doesn't support alias $this, like:

<?php
 
class Foo {
   public function bar() {
      return function() use ($this as $obj) //Error
      {};
   }
}
