 Hi,

 I found a bug that makes the home page think it's a page. (I didn't look
 at the WP_Query variables.)

 Here are the steps to replicate the issue:

 1. Go to /wp-admin/options-reading.php
 2. Delete the selected option at "Front page displays" through Developer
 Tools/Web Inspector.
 3. Save settings.
 4. Now no setting is selected.

 The home page is a Posts Page but WP_Query doesn't recognize it as one,
 nor as a front page at all.

 This causes all kinds of issues when plugins/themes rely on
 is_front_page().

 Thanks!
