Description:
------------
When using the debug_backtrace function, the resulting array will be missing 'file' and 'line' indices for any stack frames that were invoked via reflection.

The documentation for debug_backtrace does not indicate that stack frames for methods invoked via reflection will be missing any information.  If this is not a bug, the documentation should have a clear warning that this behavior is intentional.

Test script:
---------------
class SampleClass {

    public function printBacktrace() {
        print_r(debug_backtrace());
    }
}

$obj1 = new SampleClass();

echo "Invoked directly: ";
$obj1->printBacktrace();

$rm = new ReflectionMethod($obj1,'printBacktrace');

echo "\n\nInvoked via reflection: ";
$rm->invoke($obj1);

Expected result:
----------------
The stack frame for SampleClass->printBacktrace should include file and line number information regardless of whether the method was invoked via reflection.

Actual result:
--------------
Stack frames for methods invoked via reflection are missing file and line number information. Here's the output of the sample script:


Invoked directly: Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [file] => /home/lamplighter/.apps/http/__default__/0/llpdn/1.0-zdc/public/test.php
            [line] => 15
            [function] => printBacktrace
            [class] => SampleClass
            [object] => SampleClass Object
                (
                )

            [type] => ->
            [args] => Array
                (
                )

        )

)


Invoked via reflection: Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [function] => printBacktrace
            [class] => SampleClass
            [object] => SampleClass Object
                (
                )

            [type] => ->
            [args] => Array
                (
                )

        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [file] => /home/lamplighter/.apps/http/__default__/0/llpdn/1.0-zdc/public/test.php
            [line] => 20
            [function] => invoke
            [class] => ReflectionMethod
            [object] => ReflectionMethod Object
                (
                    [name] => printBacktrace
                    [class] => SampleClass
                )

            [type] => ->
            [args] => Array
                (
                    [0] => SampleClass Object
                        (
                        )

                )

        )

This is expected behaviour, however, I'm not sure it's impossible to avoid. So before I go changing the documentation, can someone that works on reflection let me know if this can be fixed or if it should be documented ?
