[RFC] ifsetor operator

Hello List,

  i also agrre that an internal function is much better. And here is
it as such an internal function (that does not result in an expensive
function call).

Synopsis: "ifsetor" "(" value "," default ")"

  Returns the value if it exists or a given default value.

Syntax:   "ifsetor" "(" variable [ "," expression ] ")"

Semantic:
  - The value in question must be a variable.
  - The default value can be any expression.
  - The default value can be omitted in which case NULL will be used.
