 When you have a static front page, home_url() points to the front page
 while is_home() detects the posts page.

 This is confusing and counter intuitive (especially because in the
 dashboard the page set as home is referred to as the posts page. The word
 "Home" is never used on the client side).

 Rename
 is_home() => is_posts_page()
 home_url() => front_page_url()

 Add
 posts_page_url()
