Nice, nice. I've been doing a plugin for this actually,
which I'm using on my weblog, with functions:

rp_if_frontpage()
rp_if_entry()
rp_if_category()
rp_if_search()
rp_if_monthly()
rp_if_weekly()
rp_if_author()

All of them return true or false, depending on where
you are in your weblog. I'm still sticking to my function
naming convention for WP, by adding prefix *rp_* to all
my functions to avoid collisions with other plugin
writers.

As a side note, I think plugin writers *should* adapt
a naming convention to identify and isolate their
functions from the buit-in ones and those from other
plugins.
