 Replying to [comment:3 jeremyfelt]:

 of how current core code is not working or providing enough data would be
 great.

 It's "working." His complaint is that it's inconsistent and clunky.

 It's sometimes not obvious where to find the documentation, for instance
 OP doesn't seem to be aware of `is_trackback()`. (Perhaps where could be
 note in the file's header?)

 Last but not least, it occasionally breaks down to:

 {{{
 $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] === ABSPATH . $file_to_check
 }}}

 (I'm quite sure I've used a less buggy version of the above idiom over the
 years to detect in what precise context WP was being loaded.)

 Again, it ''works''... It's just not very convenient -- or change proof,
 for that matter.
