Are you sure?

(interactive-p) is 99.9% equivalent to (called-interactively-p
'interactive), including interactions with advice and whatnot.
More recently both functions have been reimplemented, and the new
implementation should work about as well as the old one in most cases.
The new advice library interacts differently (and that appeared
at the same time as the new called-interactively-p implementation), so
that can be mistaken as a consequence of the new called-interactively-p
implementation, but mostly the new implementation of
called-interactively-p mostly handles more cases.
