The equivalent of your error suppressed example would be:
$var = $_GET['test'] ?? null;
I don't think it gains anyone much to have another form just to save four
characters (for the default `null`).
Someone mentioned an assignment version which isn't covered in niki's patch but
would be a fairly trivial addition.
$var ??= expr;
Which essentially means:
if (!isset($var)) {
$var = expr;
}
I'd kinda like that for completeness, but will vote for this with or without
the assignment version.
