In what scenarios would using property_exists be a better alternative to isset when working with Closure objects in PHP?

When working with Closure objects in PHP, using property_exists is a better alternative to isset when you want to check if a property exists within the Closure object itself. isset may not work as expected with Closure objects because they are not regular objects. property_exists specifically checks if a property exists within the object, regardless of its value. 

$closure = function() {
    $foo = 'bar';
};

if (property_exists($closure, 'foo')) {
    echo 'Property "foo" exists in the Closure object.';
} else {
    echo 'Property "foo" does not exist in the Closure object.';
}
