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
    {};
 }

} ''
