I don't know.  I guess in part that depends on which other parts of
emacs call those functions, and whether that set is guaranteed to be
stable over time.  I don't think it's currently documented or stable,
which is why this probably seemed to the person who implemented the
other-buffer functionality to "work" in some useful way.
