Comment (by andy):

 I would prefer not to have two meanings for "home". The original meaning,
 the one in the option called "home", is the URL of the front page of the
 blog. The original is_home() worked on that basis. So please let's keep
 is_home() consistent with the "home" option. Its logic might even be
 simplified: is REQUEST_URI equivalent to the path component of the "home"
 option?

 What we need is a function that detects whether we're displaying the first
 page of the blog's posts. It needs a name. The logic can test the
 emptiness of certain query_vars and/or other is_*.
