Description:
------------
If used and set to TRUE, var_export() will return the variable representation 
instead of outputing it.

Note:

This function uses internal output buffering with this parameter so it can not 
be used inside an ob_start() callback function.


What does that Note: stand for? It already says on the param what it does. If 
nothing is sent to the output...then who is that note going to help? People 
passing that param already expect a certain behaviour, and are some trying to 
stay away from ob_start in the first place.

The note means exactly what it says: you can't use
var_export($var, true) within an ob_start() callback function. You can 
use it as per normal with output buffering; it only refers to that very
specific case.

Looks clear enough to me -> closing.
