No, it wasn't sarcastic. I'm also not sure how much more clear I could have
gotten. I literally added is_post_type() today:
http://trac.wordpress.org/changeset/14158.

Pass it a post type and a post, and it'll tell you if the post is of that
type -- that's exactly what scribu proposed for you, only it's simpler.

The function is more powerful than that -- it can take an array of post
types to validate the post against. It can also take only a post type, and
it'll tell you whether that post type is indeed registered.
