Before it gets forgotten: I still think that
$x = ifsetor(mixed var, mixed var [, ...]);
with expressions in all parts is the way to go.

Example usage:
$a = ifsetor($_REQUEST['x'], $db->get('x'), 'default_x');

This needs some work to disable warnings because of unset values inside 
the ifsetor() but would provide a lot of value.

And I also think that the name ifsetor has to be reevaluated :-)
