Description:
------------
class and method are lost when __METHOD__ called in closure.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
 namespace pdox\pal;
class test
{
    function test1()
    {
        var_dump(__METHOD__); // string(21) "pdox\pal\test::test1"

        $a = function() {return __METHOD__;};
        var_dump($a());                // string(18) "pdox\pal\{closure}"

        $b = fn() => __METHOD__;
        var_dump($b());               // string(18) "pdox\pal\{closure}"
    }
}?>

For funtions, __METHOD__ is a synonym for __FUNCTION__[1].
Anonymous functions are *functions*, so this behaves as intended,
although the documentation[2] should be improved.

Clearly __METHOD__ is NOT just a synonym for __FUNCTION__ ...

All inside a namespaced class method:

NOT in closure:

__FUNCTION__ => method name
__METHOD__   => namespace + className + "::" + methodName
__CLASS__    => namespace + className

IN a closure:

__FUNCTION__ => namespace + "{closure}"
__METHOD__   => namespace + "{closure}"
__CLASS__    => namespace + className


I would expect __METHOD__ to report the closure's parent method.

To be consistent with not in a closure I would also reasonably expect __METHOD__ to provide the class name.

__METHOD__ and __FUNCTION__ are useless in a closure. Surely this is not intended.

I see no simple alternative. Think debugging, logging etc.

Oh, I was too fast here, and missed your reply.  This appears to
be an actual bug.
