Right, the main entry point should be display-monitor-attributes-list
and it should then dispatch to the right implementation.  This dispatch
can be done in Elisp (in which case you need to export x-<foo>,
ns-<foo>, ... to Elisp) or all in C, in which case there's no need for
x-<foo>, ns-<foo>, ...

Sounds like a bug (tho as long as only NS provides this functionality,
it's probably a minor bug).
