As discussed on [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/django-
developers/F8F5b1kEA34/FhqCmRw9BwAJ this django-developers thread] this
should be deprecated.
It inspects the non-standard header X-Requested-Wiith that is set by
jQuery and maybe other frameworks. However jQuery's popularity, especially
for making requests, is decreasing thanks to changes such as the new
`fetch()` JS API.
Also in the cases this property is used to determine the kind of content
to send to a client, it'd be better to inspect the HTTP standard `Accept`
header.
For these reasons Flask has deprecated its similar property `is_xhr`.
