 New Comment:

I'm not the most versed person with the Reflection API.
However, if you have any knowledge you can always document the functions/classes
using the online PHP documentation editor at https://edit.php.net
and submit a (or multiple) patches.

Description:
------------
For WAY too many YEARS now, the documentation of many methods of many reflection classes contains
this notice:

"Warning This function is currently not documented; only its argument list is available."

This is completely unacceptable. Bug #41574 is 11 years old, it has seen no activity other than a
reply from someone @php.net to the effect of "we are working on it" (which turned out to
be a LIE), and has been closed as "not a bug". I am creating this report on the
technicality that #41574 refers specifically to the \Reflector class while the issue also pertains
to many other reflection classes.
