Bug description:ReflectionFunction Internal Error provocation

Description:
------------
Normally Instantiation fails (ReflectionException):

$test = new ReflectionFunction('');

However this can be fooled:

$obj = new stdClass();
$test = new ReflectionFunction($obj);
echo $test;

The echo line triggers a fatal error then:

Fatal error: ReflectionFunction::__toString(): Internal error: Failed to 
retrieve the reflection object

Before that happens there is a slightly misworded warning ahead:

Warning: ReflectionFunction::__construct() expects parameter 1 to be
string, 
object given

Misworded in the sense that it's possible objects with __toString() and 
closures.

Probably something in the logic inside the constructor is not right. It
would be 
good if in such cases an ReflectionException is thrown on instantiation.

Test script:
---------------
$obj = new stdClass();
$test = new ReflectionFunction($obj);
echo $test;

Expected result:
----------------
ReflectionException

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal Error
