Right, so stop talking about Notices. Ignoring Notices does not get you

And stop lecturing me about Nulls. The is_null($foo) part of that is the

ONLY if $foo actually exists!
Yes, I get it. Honestly, I do. It has nothing to do with me not
understanding nulls, and nothing to do with any need to silence notices.
You don't want to disable expand() so the next step is handling the
results of importing variables for which null is a valid state but
equally their NOT having been created is equally valid.
Sure, extract() allows you to do half the trick you want to do, and
exists() would allow you to do the other half. There's a logical jump
from there to "if you're not going to give me exists(), you might as
well take away extract()".
It's like saying "I have some cheese, but no bread; if you gave me some
bread, I could make a cheese sandwich; if you're not going to give me
the bread, please take away the cheese". My answer amounts to "why don't
you have cheese and crackers instead, we've got plenty of those?"
