Thanks for your efforts on this cleaning! We had these around for so
long (and no good reason).
Best

So far this patch only deletes an is_* function if it literally does
nothing but wrap a call to isinstance without even changing the name.
If there's a change in the class name because of a factory or if the
is_* function does something more complicated like test a few
different classes then that's
I though the depreciation is for including is_* in the global namespace
only. My impression was that they are to stay in the library code as an
internal way to test that an argument is already of a suitable type.
Generally, is_X(foo) is more strict than foo in X:
sage: is_Integer(5/1)

Not counting definitions, imports, or doctests, "is_[A-Z]" matches 807
times in the source. So I would definitely be writing a script to
remove whatever we decide to remove, and then make sure it builds and
tests, and read through the diff
How much are these functions used in the Sage library? I would be
supportive of removing them all if possible
