Not that I'm aware of. The only alternative would be to permit shorting if the user has a Long Put for defined risk protection.

You could always to a synthetic short through buying a Long Put, but time (and often volatility) decay become a factor (for shorter term trades).

Correction: Should be Long Call for the first scenario: defined risk protection (for shorting), not Long Put.
