Comment:

 @ocean90 is correct that we lose data on when these methods were
 introduced. And I think more importantly we lose a lot of context that is
 useful to developers unfamiliar with the `is_*()` methods.

 DevHub doesn't currently support `@method` tags, that is to say, the
 ''parser'' of course understands the tags but we don't expose the data in
 any form on DevHub. I think the preference here would be to keep the
 methods as non-magic to retain the extra context and versioning
 information.
