The executor doesn't complain about unset variables prior to calling 
functions by reference, so I was thinking it could be modified to also 
not complain when calling functions that don't care about set 
variables.  Naturally, the unset variable would evaluate as NULL and be 
passed as such, just there would be no E_NOTICE.
