just my opinion on the color of the bike shed:

Maybe a function named like coalesce() as known from SQL.

Although an unset variable yields NULL, this is not the same as
testing whether the variable is actually set or not.

But still, if it would return the first non-null value then it might
be good in conjunction with user input.

I'm not too fond of a function that begins with if* - it might
misdirect people to think it's a control structure.

(and now back to your original programme)
