 * Hi all,
 * Am looking for a reliable, (relatively) elegant way to detect if the page being
   accessed is a feed or not. Essentially I’m adding logic in an init hook that 
   I do not want to execute if they’re not accessing a regular page. Checking for
   a feed get parameter wouldn’t work if they’re using redirects, among other things.
 * Thanks for any suggestions!
 * Regards,
    Brian
