Get error:  Cannot rebind scope of closure created by ReflectionFunctionAbstract::getClosure()

I am getting the error after converting function to Closure and after rebind the Closure to some object.
I can't bind (and also bindTo) closure which returned by Closure::fromCallable(). 


Test script:
---------------
<?php
class A {
    private $name;
    public function __construct($name)
    {
        $this->name = $name;
    }
}

// test callable
function getName()
{
    return $this->name;
}
$bob = new A("Bob");

$cl1 = Closure::fromCallable("getName");
$cl1 = $cl1->bindTo($bob, 'A');
$result = $cl1();
echo $result

Expected result:
----------------
Bob

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: Cannot rebind scope of closure created by ReflectionFunctionAbstract::getClosure() on line 18

The error message should be changed to not mention ReflectionFunctionAbstract::getClosure(), but otherwise the behavior is intentional. Freestanding functions don't have an object scope, so you cannot bind one.

Thank you, for the clarification. So as I undestood. 
If I use the Closure
$cl2 = function () {
    return $this->name;
};
It has an object scope (because $cl2 is an object of Closure).
But Closure::fromCallable() creates a Closure from current scope which is not an object scope in case of freestanding function. And $this inside freestanding function is not valuable. Maybe it makes sense to add the information to manual or restrict to use $this inside freestanding functions. Thank you.
