Are PHP functions objects?

Is there a built-in class function which instances are the standard PHP functions? Are PHP functions objects?

In Python I can test it in this way:

from inspect import isclass
def foo():
    pass
isclass(type(foo))
>>> True

What about this function in PHP:

function foo(){
    return null;
}

Anonymous functions are objects of "Closure" class. Here is the test:

$myfunction = function(){
    echo "Hi";
};

if(is_object($myfunction)){
    echo get_class($myfunction); //prints 'Closure'
}
