Hi Zeev,

You're absolutely right.. How awful of me that I didn't see this coming.

Honestly, what's the point of having an ifsetor() in PHP, when people can
obviously write it themselves? Everybody wants a slighty different
implementation of an ifsetor(), ifnotemptyor(), coalesce(), etc... Why are
people wasting their breath on this? I figured it would be a good addition
to PHP at first, but seeing as everyone could write this in PHP themselves,
I really don't get the point.

Maybe it's the case that a lot of pro-ifsetor() people, are unaware (like I
was) of the fact that one really could implement a decent ifsetor()
themselves?
