Subject: PHP 7.1 - Address PHPSadness #28?
From: scott@paragonie.com (Scott Arciszewski)

Hi everybody,

Would anyone be interested in adding another helper like
isset()/empty() simply called exists() which would return true if the
variable is defined in the current scope (i.e. without raising an
E_NOTICE)?

It should be a simple change to add this function but it's too late
for 7.0 so, if there is any interest, I would respectfully put it off
until 7.1.
