Bug description:  class member functions aren't first class data objects

I've checked the documentation, but it doesn't address this
issue.  As a result, I'm unsure if this is a bug or by design.

Anyhow, it appears class functions aren't first class data objects.  I've
included a short example leading to a
"Call to undefined function" message as a example:

<?php

function generic_data_handler($specializedFn,$specializedFnData) {
    return $specializedFn($specializedFnData);
}

class z {
   var $x = 10;
   var $y = 4;

   function _mult($me) {
       return($me->x * $me->y);
   }

   function aStupidlyContrivedExample() {
       return generic_data_handler($this->_mult,$this); 
   }
}

$a = new z;
print $a->_mult($a);             

// an error from the runtime system
print $a->aStupidlyContrivedExample();   

?>

Apologies in advance if this is common knowledge or not a bug.
