Of course there already is a nice clean way to make this distinction,
because emacs already has a variable which captures exactly the right
information. That variable is window-system. The only bug is that
it's deprecated.
Are you suggesting a bug report that says "either un-deprecate
window-system or provide an alternative, since it provides information
that isn't otherwise available by any other means"? If so, we've
reached agreement.

That in emacs as it stands today, window-system is essential. What
other conclusion could there be? From which it follows that it's the
right variable to use in some cases -- in fact, in this very one we're
discussing. From that it follows that the blanket condemnations of
all uses of window-system can't possibly be right.
