It's "completely new" because you can't do it right now, that's all. I'm just trying to separate two different justifications for requesting this feature: some people are saying their current code is buggy because of some lack in the language, and that "thousands and millions of devs" encounter this; others, such as yourself, are saying that they would like to write code in a certain style, which the language doesn't currently allow. I have still seen absolutely no evidence of the former, most bugs apparently being due to poor adoption of array_key_exists; I am reasonably convinced by your use case being valid, even if it's not a style I'd choose. Every time you start talking about avoiding notices, and existing code, I therefore get confused - there is no code using exists() in order for it to be buggy! Regards, -- Rowan Collins [IMSoP]
