 As a plugin developer, the ability to identify if a feed is being fed is
 important.  Feed readers are so bad with character handling, it is often
 necessary to strip those characters out.

 Semantically, perhaps `is_feed()` should return TRUE for any feed, and
 `is_main_feed()` for the primary feed.  This would make clear semantic
 sense. [i.e. there is nothing in `is_feed()` that would indicate it is
 intended only to apply to one specific feed]
