Comment:

 OK, but current function behavior is correct or not? Codex doc for this
 function is in "A Single Post Page" section, so I would expect that this
 function should be used to detect if we are on Post page or not. I have
 searched Internet for it, and found that others write something similar
 about it.

 What's more, in WP2.9 and earlier we need to use more complex condition to
 detect if current page is Post or not - something like this:[[BR]]
 `if ( is_single() && !is_attachment() )`[[BR]]
 In 3.0 we can use `is_singular( 'page' )` to do this, but this is not
 backward-compatible.

 Therefore I am not sure if this is correct. I would like to get extra
 feedback from other people about this.
