note 117033 added to function.method-exists

A couple of the older comments (specifically "jp at function dot fi" and "spam at majiclab dot com") state that is_callable() does not respect a methods visibility when checked outside of that class. ie. That private/protected methods are seen as callable when tested publicly. However, this was a bug (#29210) in early versions of PHP 5 and was fixed (according to the changelog) in PHP 5.0.5 (and/or PHP 5.1.0). Bug #29210 - Function: is_callable - no support for private and protected classes http://bugs.php.net/29210 Changelog - Fixed bug #29210 (Function: is_callable - no support for private and protected classes).
