Description:
------------
The method_exists function returns false for Closure::__invoke.

According to the docs:
"Besides the methods listed here, this class also has an __invoke method. This is for consistency with other classes that implement calling magic, as this method is not used for calling the function."
Source: http://php.net/manual/en/class.closure.php

Test script:
---------------
https://3v4l.org/nIte4

Expected result:
----------------
true

Actual result:
--------------
false

I have similar issue with "__invoke()"

class MyClass {
    public function __invoke() {}
}

__invoke callability tests yield different results than any other public method.

is_callable(["MyClass", "__invoke"]) NOT-OK evaluates to FALSE, should be TRUE
is_callable(["MyClass::__invoke"]) NOT-OK evaluates to FALSE, should be TRUE
is_callable([new MyClass(), "__invoke"] OK

php 5.4 yields correct results, 5.5 to 7.3 do not.

@maks dot feltrin at gmail dot com: Those results are correct, because __invoke is not a static method. You can't actually call MyClass::__invoke(), only (new MyClass)->__invoke().

(method_exists works on different principles, so it should indeed return true.)
