While I think adding these methods makes sense, this is clearly
something that requires an RFC. So if you, or anybody else for
that matter, is still interested in having these methods, please
pursue the RFC process[1]. For the time being, I suspend this
ticket.
Please note that uopz_set_static()[2] already allows to change the
value of function statics.

Description:
------------
With Reflection, it is possible to get and set static properties in classes,
even
when they are private or protected. This should also be possible for static
variables inside functions and methods. There is a method
ReflectionFunctionAbstract::getStaticVariables() that returns the names and
values
of static variables inside the function. In my opinion, there should also be a
function ReflectionFunctionAbstract::setStaticVariable().
I'd also like to mention this bug: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51581 - It
was
declined about two years ago but I think it should be fixed. I suggested in a
comment that a solution for the increased memory usage could be a ini-setting
(like "reflection.track_static_properties") that enables (should probably be
disabled by default) the tracking of the default values of static properties. If
this could be done, I also suggest adding a similar function to retrieve the
default values of static variables in functions, for example
ReflectionFunctionAbstract::getDefaultStaticVariables().
