If $a is undefined and you do is_null($a) I supposed you get true.
I was talking about a language construct which will give false in this case.

Anyway, it's not something I think we should change right now.
I think Andrei's MySQL patch should be reverted though. Many people are 
doing isset($row["foo"]) on their MySQL query results. Today if "foo" is 
NULL it will return false. If this is ever changed (some people thing it 
should) it will return true. So why not change the MySQL module back to the 
way it was? It worked for everyone and it might allow us to make this 
change in future.
