Add ReflectionParameter param information for functions and methods?

[TysonAndre]

and return for some methods.

Currently, ReflectionFunctionAbstract->getParameters() reports most of these have no parameters, in 4.0.5.2.

Instead of arginfo, NULL is passed.

Would you be interested in PRs to add this info, or on working on it yourself?

EDIT: public function get($arg, &$arg, &$arg) {} and function memcache_get($arg, $arg, &$arg, &$arg) {} should also use distinct parameter names

https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/scripts/dev/gen_stub.php may be useful to generate readable stub info from a php stub file, but the output is only meant for php 8 and would need to be changed.

Motivations

• Improve quality of PHP's error messages and static analysis of code using memcache (e.g. with Phan/Psalm)
• Make tooling using Reflection information work better.

[TysonAndre]

I was going to suggest using https://github.com/JetBrains/phpstorm-stubs/blob/master/memcache/memcache.php , but that's also missing the parameters (based on Reflection).

In addition to the IDE, many third party projects (e.g. analyzers) use those stubs, so I or someone else should create a PR to update those
