 Proposal for a new function for use outside of The Loop:

 If you're on a single post or page (i.e. `is_single()` or `is_page()` is
 `TRUE`), this function would return the ID of that post or page, otherwise
 it'd return `NULL` or whatever.

 Now before you suggest it, `global $post; echo $post-ID;` is unreliable
 because it can be thrown off by other Loops such as the "Recent Posts"
 sidebar widget.
