     * Declare template vars to set default values and avoid notices when using strictVars
     *
     * Primarily for use when using {@link Zend_View_Abstract::strictVars() Zend_View strictVars()},
     * this helper can be used to declare template variables that may or may
     * not already be set in the view object, as well as to set default values.
     * Arrays passed as arguments to the method will be used to set default
     * values; otherwise, if the variable does not exist, it is set to an empty
     * string.
     *
     * Usage:
     * <code>
     * $this->declareVars(
     *     'varName1',
     *     'varName2',
     *     array('varName3' => 'defaultValue',

     *     )
