This has been there since 2005 or earlier. It's an unfortunate spelling but at this stage the best we could do is add an alias `isIterable`. I'm not sure we should deprecate the original given its age and it's just a spelling error (there's nothing inherently wrong with the method).

I agree with @levim - Certainly too late to change it outright, but the spelling deserves to be corrected, so I made the change and added an alias for BC.
