    If you creates methods by using classkit_method_add(), they are not visible in get_class_methods().

    class A
    {   
           public function foo()
           {
                return "foo!\n";
           }
    }

    classkit_method_redefine('A','bar','','return "bar !\n";',CLASSKIT_ACC_PUBLIC);

    print_r(get_class_methods('A'));
    // writes only "foo"
