yes, we can imaging extending this objects collection for vertex, or with function that is not yet possible with pix_ object.
so having pix_ prefix on this objects is not a good idea imo.

texture_alpha / texture_add / ...
vertex_random / ...
???

so that one can use this objects without having heard about shaders / glsl or sl.
