One of my favorite commands look like this, I have it bound to
M-o globally.

(defun other-window-or-split ()
  (interactive)
  (when (one-window-p)
    (split-window-below) )
  (other-window 1) )

Maybe it will be spared from your compression since it is in
fact a `other-window-*' command, not a `*-other-window' one?

Some more fun code:

(defmacro with-other-window (&rest body)
  `(with-selected-window (next-window)
     ,@body))

(defun apply-in-other-window (fn &rest args)
  (with-other-window
    (apply fn args) ))
