Matthew's example with the reference is best if you don't want to use objects. Put a different way, with a different solution pulling from the GLOBALS symbol table:

$heydude = function ($name) /* use($boom) imports from declaration time symbol table */ {
  global $boom; // import from at-runtime symbol table
  ...
  };
