There was also my suggestion of a "checked ternary" operator [see my

It doesn't address the main issues of code duplication and nullness
checking, IMHO, so isn't a contender. Even though it's simple and
compatible, it is only practical in a handful of cases.
I believe describing nullness checking as a "main" issue is a rather
strong
assessment.
I agree. To me, nullness checking is not interesting at all.
$var = $arr['key'] ?? : 'empty';
is a significant improvement over the current means and does in fact
remove
redundant code.
If I understood it correctly, this is the essense of what I want. Compared
to the original description of checked ternary I strongly object to this
working on non-arrays.
But given that constraint, my vote goes to the checked ternary operator as
well.
