I see this is the time to do language feature request. So let me add
another. I very often use something like:
/$a = isset($x['abc']) ? //$x['abc'] : null;

It seems to me like adding a function:
mixed array_get(mixed key, array search [, mixed default_value])
The implementation being:
// constraint checking here
if (array_key_exists($key,$search) return $search[$key];
return $default_value;
would be the way to go. A functional way to do array access (I don't
see another way to do this, actually), and also allow a default value if
the specified key doesn't exit.
Very similiar to the getProperty() method in Java's Properties class.
