    /**
     * Given a user-defined PHP function, create a PHP 'wrapper' function that can be exposed as xml-rpc method from an
     * xml-rpc server object and called from remote clients (as well as its corresponding signature info).
     *
     * Since php is a typeless language, to infer types of input and output parameters, it relies on parsing the
     * javadoc-style comment block associated with the given function. Usage of xml-rpc native types (such as
     * datetime.dateTime.iso8601 and base64) in the '@param' tag is also allowed, if you need the php function to
     * receive/send data in that particular format (note that base64 encoding/decoding is transparently carried out by
     * the lib, while datetime values are passed around as strings)
     *
     * Known limitations:
     * - only works for user-defined functions, not for PHP internal functions (reflection does not support retrieving
     *   number/type of params for those)
     * - functions returning php objects will generate special structs in xml-rpc responses: when the xml-rpc decoding of
     *   those responses is carried out by this same lib, using the appropriate param in php_xmlrpc_decode, the php
     *   objects will be rebuilt.
     *   In short: php objects can be serialized, too (except for their resource members), using this function.
     *   Other libs might choke on the very same xml that will be generated in this case (i.e. it has a nonstandard
     *   attribute on struct element tags)
     *
     * Note that since rel. 2.0RC3 the preferred method to have the server call 'standard' php functions (i.e. functions
     * not expecting a single Request obj as parameter) is by making use of the $functions_parameters_type and
     * $exception_handling properties.
     *
     * @param \Callable $callable the PHP user function to be exposed as xml-rpc method: a closure, function name, array($obj, 'methodname') or array('class', 'methodname') are ok
     * @param string $newFuncName (optional) name for function to be created. Used only when return_source in $extraOptions is true
     * @param array $extraOptions (optional) array of options for conversion. valid values include:
     *                            - bool return_source     when true, php code w. function definition will be returned, instead of a closure
     *                            - bool encode_nulls      let php objects be sent to server using <nil> elements instead of empty strings
     *                            - bool encode_php_objs   let php objects be sent to server using the 'improved' xml-rpc notation, so server can deserialize them as php objects
     *                            - bool decode_php_objs   --- WARNING !!! possible security hazard. only use it with trusted servers ---
     *                            - bool suppress_warnings remove from produced xml any warnings generated at runtime by the php function being invoked
     * @return array|false false on error, or an array containing the name of the new php function,
     *                     its signature and docs, to be used in the server dispatch map
     *
     * @todo decide how to deal with params passed by ref in function definition: bomb out or allow?
     * @todo finish using phpdoc info to build method sig if all params are named but out of order
     * @todo add a check for params of 'resource' type
     * @todo add some error logging when returning false?
     * @todo what to do when the PHP function returns NULL? We are currently returning an empty string value...
     * @todo add an option to suppress php warnings in invocation of user function, similar to server debug level 3?
     * @todo add a verbatim_object_copy parameter to allow avoiding usage the same obj instance?
     * @todo add an option to allow generated function to skip validation of number of parameters, as that is done by the server anyway
