I agree the key name is ambiguous, perhaps 'function_reference' instead of
'reference'.
I'm unclear what you're saying about "returning" a reflection object, please
elaborate.

I think the naming can be improved. Reference is quite generic, why not to
return
some reflection object if asked for?

Description:
------------
Debug backtrace traditionally gives several pieces of information about the
call
stack, including file name, line number, and function name. However, with
anonymous functions it simply gives "{closure}". This makes anonymous functions
received through debug_backtrace inaccesible through reflection because there
is
no reference to them.
I propose that debug_backtrace always provide an additional key "reference"
which
is a reference to the actual function. This will let the function be called or
provided to the reflection API.
Test script:
---------------
<?PHP
$anon = function() {
$name = (debug_backtrace[0]['name']); // yields {closure}
$refl = new ReflectionFunction($name); // works great except with closures!
echo $refl->getDocComment(); // fails
}
$anon();
