Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] what happened to that new isset() like language
  construct
From: jason@ionzoft.com (Jason Garber)

Hi Marc,

What we basically settled on was to use this syntax (as a new language 
construct):

$x = ifsetor(mixed variable, mixed default);

If I recall correctly, Marcus had a patch that implemented it and it was 
going to be plugged in in the 4.1 branch (when it is created).

I'm eagerly waiting for it also  :)

Sincerely,
Jason Garber
