from src/CHANGELOG.txt (funny place for stuffing coding standards):

   s    system interface
   m    message system
   g    graphics stuff
   d    DSP objects
   x    control objects
   z    other
   t    TK front end

So it's "x" as in "control" and "z" as in "other". But because of my 
nationality i'm familiar with names ending in "lx", so "controlx" makes 
almost as much sense as "otherz".

Well, actually, "s" stands for "miscellaneous", which doesn't start with 
an "s", but just like "nietzsche" it has "s" in it.
