I have a vague memory that it might have been Doug Evans
who wrote the 'x' driver.  He did the 'z' driver as well.
I would ask him, but we lost track of each other over
three decades ago.

I remember looking at 'x' and asking myself "why?"  It
didn't seem to add anything to the 'f' driver, and just
seemed gratuitously incompatible.  But again, hindsight
is 20/20, but my memory is closer to 20/80 :-(
