Hi, I'm sorry but I can't understand how you can invoke something without the magic method.

In the closure_example, for me you don't invoke anything, but just return an empty object.
In the controller I'm ok you invoke it, but for me, the __invokeis missing:

public function __invoke(...$args) {
  return self::get(...$args)
}

Am I wrong?

Thx
