A simple is_term() conditional function for WordPress
Raw
wordpress-is_term.md

Even though individual Tags, Categories and Taxonomies are all represented as WP_Term objects, WordPress has three separate conditional tags for sorting them out: is_tag(), is_category() and is_tax(). These are sometimes combined into a single conditional statement in WordPress core, and there are plenty of examples on GitHub where developers have created an umbrella is_term() function like this:

function is_term($term = '') {
    return is_tag($term) || is_category($term) || is_tax($term);
}

It would be nice to have that function added to WordPress core.
