Not very well documented, but it is apparently a way to check if the current user is a automated tester.

This api really needs to operate off an atomic snapshot, or at least return a timestamp of when monkeyness was observed, to avoid latency & synchronization issues. What if the monkey hands the phone off before the client code can continue execution?
