Bug description:$var = NULL; isset($var) return FALSE

Description:

>From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.isset#Description

---



if valid variable $var with NULL value passed to isset(), result is FALSE.



There should be language reserved word/language construct that behaves
exactly 

like isset() except for NULL value.



behavior of isset should be changed in future major release, optionally 

configurable by ini setting.



If I create patch, do you include it? 

Note that if I'll go implement this, compatible behavior will be preserved.

Test script:
---------------
if(isset($var))

    die('ERROR');

else

    echo "OK\n";



$var = null;

if(!isset($var)) 

    die('NOT GOOD. THIS IS UNCLEAR AND STRANGE');

else

    echo "THIS IS BETTER\n";



unset($var);

if(isset($var)) 

    die('ERROR');

else

    echo "OK\n";



Expected result:
----------------
OK

THIS IS BETTER

OK



Actual result:
--------------
OK

NOT GOOD. THIS IS UNCLEAR AND STRANGE
