Add the `isa` operator
Adds a new infix operator named `isa`, with the semantics that $x isa SomeClass is true if and only if `$x` is a blessed object reference that is either `SomeClass` directly, or includes the class somewhere in its @ISA hierarchy. It is false without warning or error for non-references or non-blessed references. This operator respects `->isa` method overloading, and is intended to replace boilerplate code such as use Scalar::Util 'blessed'; blessed($x) and $x->isa("SomeClass")
