It would be nice if there was a special construct like `typeof` or `instanceof`

variable / function of the same name existing in the parent scope (or undefined 
otherwise).

Sorry, no. Please not.
This would be a horrible feature, making name collisions (which are already confusing as hell at times) even more confusing. Scoping is already complicated, no need to introduce an edge case that all tooling (including human brains) would need to get learned.

There already does exist a simple, familiar, and working solution (well, multiple ones actually), it's not worth the trouble of introducing a new operator.
