A current function,is_wp_error, does something similar regarding the WP_Error class: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/is_wp_error/ .When developing my plugin, Describr (https://wordpress.org/plugins/describr/), I used namespaces, and it became tedious doing $thing instanceof \WP_User often to break out of the namespaces.

Hi there and welcome to WordPress Trac!
What would be the benefit of adding a function simply wrapping an
instanceofcheck? Why not just useinstanceofdirectly?
