Since Drupal 7.33 release there is now simple support for alternative template support and themeing function alternatives listing in Drupal (core) by adding a setting in settings.php.

Added a “theme_hook_original” variable to templates and theme functions and an optional sitewide theme debug mode, to provide contextual information in the page’s HTML to theme developers. The theme debug mode is based on the one used with Twig in Drupal 8 and can be accessed by setting the “theme_debug” variable to TRUE (API addition).

So in settings.php you set:

$conf['theme_debug'] = TRUE;

Then view the source of your page and you will see comments in your HTML as <!-- THEME DEBUG --> that list out function and template suggestions for the current Node.

Example Output for /admin/structure/views:

<!-- THEME DEBUG -->
<!-- CALL: theme('html') -->
<!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS:
   * html--admin--structure--views.tpl.php
   * html--admin--structure.tpl.php
   * html--admin.tpl.php
   x html.tpl.php
-->
... lots of HTML ...
<!-- THEME DEBUG -->
<!-- CALL: theme('region') -->
<!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS:
  * region--page-top.tpl.php
  x region.tpl.php
-->
<!-- THEME DEBUG -->
<!-- CALL: theme('toolbar') -->
<!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'modules/toolbar/toolbar.tpl.php' -->

This is a backport of Drupal 8 Twig helper functionality built into Drupal 8 (largely I guess because devel_theme has no Drupal 8 release).
