Comment (by wonderboymusic):

 Here's how you can serialize a Closure instance, and by "serialize" I
 really mean "create a unique identifier":

 {{{
 ob_start();
 echo new ReflectionFunction( function ( $var1, $var2 ) {
         return $var1 + $var2;
 } );
 $source = ob_get_clean();
 echo md5( $source );

 // makes md5 of this:
 Closure [ <user> function {closure} ] {
   @@ /Users/scott/Sites/wordpress-core/test.php 64 - 66

   - Parameters [2] {
     Parameter #0 [ <required> $var1 ]
     Parameter #1 [ <required> $var2 ]
   }
 }
 }}}

 This works because ReflectionFunction implements the toString magic method
 and is better than spl_object_hash which will refresh the hash on every
 request.
