No, because the arrays only exist during parse time, while functions persist
until the end of the render.  Of course it can be done with various hacks
and changes or a million other ways, but that is not the point of anybody
here:  The point is that it is not implemented for reasons that have nothing
to do with the practical inability to implement it, which seems to be what
you keep thinking is the problem.
