isa(1, Int)
Invalid @var syntax `extra token after end of expression`.
1 isa Number

julia> isa(1, Number)
true
PS: Same issue with isdigit(“9”) in jupyter notebook. not tested other is() functions but could be an issue with all.
I seem to have discovered the reason for this. The problem is reproduced below. The issue occurs when e.g. ?isa and isa(1,Number) are given in same cell in notebook in the same order or reverse order.
1.
isless("β", "α")
isa(1,Number)
true
2.
?isinteger
isinteger(4.0)
Invalid @var syntax `extra token after end of expression`.

In IJulia, help queries with ? have to be in a cell by themselves.
(You can also get pop-up help for the symbol at the cursor position by typing shift-tab.)
