+1 for "callable", it is really more consistent.

I was actually agreeing With David and Stas that "callback" was more consistent, and casting my vote for that.

callback is callable, the opposite could not be true. a string --or a closure-- is callable, but the string is not a callback

According to our docs, which were out there for years, it is. One of the main and widespread complaints about PHP is the lack of any system in naming, design and documentation, it is sad to see how many people want to make it worse instead of making it better

+1. I'm thinking it should be "callback", or the docs should be adjusted. "callable" arguably does make more sense, but either way, it needs to be consistent, that's what matters most.

Agreed, here. "callback" is the usage throughout the documentation to refer to anything that passes is_callable().
