[wp-hackers] bug in is_home in query filters for custom post landing pages?

[Stephen Rider]

Perhaps we should introduce is_[slug]_home() as well.  Thus: is_post_home(), is_member_home(), and so forth.  Shouldn't be too hard to knock together a patch that calls something like:

    do_action( 'is_' . $post_type_slug . '_home' );

right after "is_home" is called.  (Yes, I think it should be *after* the generic.)
