Inconsistency with PHP regarding closures and reflection

[anlutro]

new ReflectionFunction($closure) seems to work as expected. However, in one case I am doing $reflectionFunction->getParameters() and then doing $reflectionParameter->getDefiningFunction(), which returns a ReflectionMethod instance in PHP (why not ReflectionFunction? no idea) that behaves differently from the original ReflectionFunction.

• isClosure() returns false
• getClosureScopeClass() returns null
• getDeclaringClass() returns something like "Closure$Namespace\Class::method;0000000".

Some of this behaviour seems really quirky in PHP already and I can't imagine it's a high priority fix, but I thought I'd let you know.
