Detect if Cron is Running

Many times I have code and I want to make sure it only runs in a cron context, or it never runs in a cron context.
Is there an is_cron_running style function?

I'm a bit fed up of constantly googling for the answer to this then forgetting it, and the SEO on stack exchange is pretty good

Yes, wp_doing_cron will return true if the current request is a WP Cron request, or if it's triggered from WP CLI
