Don't know. I guess it depends on the reason why you want an alternative?

The reasons are purely historical. The "x-" *should* ideally always mean
"X11 function". A for how to determine when an "x-" is ideal and when
it isn't, I think the only way is to check if that function alsoe exists
under the name "x-" on the w32 or carbon (or maybe even msdos) ports. :-(
