That and C-x 5 o are the only ways I know. 2 is "very few".
And if you use pop-up-frames, you'll see that select-frame-by-name is
not good enough, because the names are chosen automatically for you and
you get name clashes, etc...

Exactly: this use was the intended one, and it works well for that case,
but pop-up-frames is a whole other game.
