Comment(by filosofo):

 Don't you think it seems reasonable to expect a function prefixed with
 "is_" to have a boolean return value?  That's what the built-in PHP
 functions do, and all of the other WP functions (as far as I know).

 And it especially makes sense in light of that other ticket you opened
 that shows PHP is inconsistent across versions in comparing variables of
 differing types.
