There is no notice so that you could pass variables by reference with
no need to declare them before.

$b = &$a;

if( isset($a) === false )
{
        $a++;
        echo $a;
}

Description:
------------
When I use referenes to an unvalued var, I found it valued to NULL and
there isn't a notice printed.

Then I'd like to ask: what is notice designed for?

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);

$b = &$a;
$a++;
echo $a;

?>

Expected result:
----------------
PHP Notice:  Undefined variable: a in E:\a.php on line 4
1

Actual result:
--------------
1
