Description:
------------
I create a lambda function with a variable, then check it type with gettype , it's 
return "object", It think it's not good in here.

Test script:
---------------
$a = function(){}; 
$b = new stdClass();
echo gettype($a) . '|' . gettype($b); // echo 'object|object'

"function" is not a type. See http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.php

I think it's not good for use
When I want to check function and call witch $a(), I must check it's a object and 
the class name is "Closure"

If you want to tell if something is a function (i.e. callable), use is_callable(). If you want to tell if something is an object and callable, use is_object and is_callable().
