New issue 3113 by [email protected]: Name clash: Basic.is_real vs Set.is_real
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=3113

The meaning of Set.is_real ("Is it a set of reals?") is incompatible with Basic.is_real (= "Is the object an extended real number?"). This makes the API inconsistent and forces us to use tricks to prevent the assumption system (which manages Basic.is_real) from interfering with Set.is_real.

Transferring the assumptions from Basic to Expr would make the problem (mostly) go away (cf. issue 2391). Otherwise, we could simply rename Set.is_real.
