Description:
------------
Despite being available at runtime, PDO::sqliteCreateFunction is not exposed via reflection: neither via the Reflection API, nor via the command line (php --rc).

Test script:
---------------
$conn = new PDO('sqlite::memory:');
var_dump(method_exists($conn, 'sqliteCreateFunction'));

try {
    $re = new ReflectionMethod($conn, 'sqliteCreateFunction');
} catch (ReflectionException $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage(), PHP_EOL;
}



Expected result:
----------------
Method reflection is created

Actual result:
--------------
bool(true)
Method PDO::sqliteCreateFunction() does not exist

The same is true for other PDO::sqlite*() and PDO::pgsql*() functions.

The issue here as far as I can tell is that driver methods are not defined directly on the PDO class entry. Instead, an object handler is used to get these methods. From what I can tell, reflection seems to rely only on the class entry.

Since I was curious, I opened https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/4271 as an experimental solution.

This still wouldn't solve listing all of the available methods under get_method, and it's clunky.

In my opinion, we should not add support for this to reflection,
but rather get rid of the magic methods, one way or another.

This is basically resolved by the introduction of driver specific
PDO subclasses[1].  Slightly modified test script:

<?php
$conn = new Pdo\Sqlite('sqlite::memory:');
var_dump(method_exists($conn, 'createFunction'));

try {
    $re = new ReflectionMethod($conn, 'createFunction');
} catch (ReflectionException $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage(), PHP_EOL;
}
?>

outputs

bool(true)

I think this is as good as it gets.
