I'm sympathetic to the problem you're trying to solve - the precedence of ?? isn't always helpful - but I'm not sure I like the proposed solution, for 3 reasons.
1) The name "nullc" is over-shortened and cryptic. The "c" looks almost like an accident, and it doesn't actually do anything if given a null.
To me, a wider approach might be more helpful, i.e. using "get" with an optional default value:
if(get($a['val']))
// equals if($a['val] ?? null)
if(get($a['val'], true))
// equals if($a['val] ?? true)
if(get($a['val], 'yes'))
// equals if($a['val] ?? 'yes')
Best,
