That hasn't happened...  but I'm not quite sure that this would be
generally useful.  That is, adding -other-buffer and -other-frame
variations to a bunch of commands doesn't seem like a good long-term
design solution -- solving this instead through `display-buffer-alist'
etc seems more scalable.

So I'm closing this as a "wontfix".
