OK, that's nice to see.

However let's hope the find it important enough to mention on the
official page one day.

Otherwise users can't tell if they should first probe with isset to
avoid stepping on this landmine.

Also /usr/share/doc/php-doc/html/function.unset.html :
add note: unsetting unset variables
  unset($ccc['eee']['fff'][44]); #will produce a warning about no such ccc
  unset($ggg); #won't warn
Not clear if http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.unset.php mentions this.
