 Hi @tazotodua,

 I appreciate your enthusiasm for this request. However, I also feel that
 this is not something that should be added to WordPress Core.

 The `is_admin()` function is not based on the page's URL, so if the URLs
 are changed by a plugin, `is_admin()` should still return `true`. Also, as
 @SergeyBiryukov [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/19898#comment:25
 noted on #19898], constants are not an acceptable way to check for
 context. They are not filterable and are hard to verify in unit tests (see
 #25669).
