1. Would it be possible to mention the `Partial` class in the RFC? From
what I understand this is what it will be returned by the
`get_class($partial)`.
I guess the class will be final (similar with Closure) and will only have a
private constructor and a public __invoke method.

2. As now ReflectionFunction accepts Closure|string, wouldn't it be simpler
for the users to just have it accept Closure|Partial|string to avoid
introducing another reflection class and also avoid the userland issue you
mentioned?
