Ruby used to have `exists?` and `exist?`. The former was deprecatted even that
in some care it is more natual to read.
I’d follow the same rule here. I believe consistence is more important than
readability in this case. It make code easier to search, since you only need to
search for `is_a?` and not `is_an?` and it doesn’t introdoce the overhead of
having to change which method you use when you rename the constant.
