It's a great fallback, but in this case I don't think one should have to
use it.  For everything else under C-x 4 for which -other-frame and
-other-tab variants make sense, we also have bindings under C-x 5 and
C-x t.  If we miss some of them out because we've since added C-x 5 5,
we are asking the user to keep track of which things under C-x 4 have
bindings under C-x 5 and which don't -- one has to remember that C-x 4
C-j exists but C-x 5 C-j doesn't.  I'd prefer that we don't impose that
cognitive burden on users just because we now have C-x 5 5.
