While "is" serves a useful purpose in Python, I wouldn't mind if it were harder to spell.

... and I wouldn't mind it if there were a way of testing for substitutability that were as easy to spell as "is" -- in fact, I wouldn't mind if it were spelled "is" even though I realize it's probably impractical to do so.

[and I agree with you that floating-point arithmetic is intrinsically hazardous]
