Beside the number of potential obsolete-aliases this would introduce,
another problem I had with that option is to choose the namespace to put
it in.  I didn't like the idea of calling it `yank-primary` for some reason.

I guess we could use the "gui-" prefix already used for the selection
functions, so those mouse-* functions which can apply to non-mouse
situations to gui-*.
