That would break so much existing code, that I don't think it's an option.

Both `interactive-p' and `called-interactively-p' check whether the
caller was invoked via `call-interactively', so I think it's OK to bring
them both within called-interactively-p, just with an additional arg
saying "and not from a macro or in batch mode".
