Function to detect if current page is a scheduled post (is_scheduled() or is_future())

[paulschreiber]

It would be very helpful if there was a function to detect if the page being viewed is a scheduled post. Call this is_scheduled() or is_future().

Currently, you can achieve this check with code link this:

<?php
function is_scheduled() {
    global $post;
    $is_future = 'future' === $post->post_status;
    return ( is_preview() && $is_future );
}

It seems that after 8 years, this hasn't had much traction
Also, we could be using if ( get_post_status() === ‘future’) since $post can be omitted in the loop.
I am not sure how this function will be much more useful, feels redundant and doesn't provide a lot of value.
I'm closing this as maybelater, in case there is more interest, but I seriously doubt this should be ever implemented.
