Re: 5.3.8, Why is func_num_args() not working on a Clusure?

func_num_args() must be called inside the Closure to know the number of arguments that it received. If you are calling outside, it returns the number of arguments of your testClosure function. There is no other way than Reflection to do this. And, I think func_num_args() does not receive any parameter.
