Description:
------------
The ReflectionMethod documentation (found at: http://us.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.reflection.php#language.oop5.reflection.reflectionmethod) cites the existence of a method:

public mixed getClosure() /* as of PHP 5.3.0 */

... despite its removal as mentioned by the following RFC: http://wiki.php.net/rfc/closures/removal-of-this.

This implies functionality exists, even though it does not.  A note, or update to the documentation would be very helpful to relieve early adopters from chasing removed functionality.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
