Since the secondary selection is one of overlays, to have functions
that transform the region and an overlay is more general.

How about having those in lisp/subr.el?  An user can still manipulate the
secondary selection.  Sorry for shortage for words.

 -- Function: overlay-exchange-region overlay
     This function exchanges the region and OVERLAY.
     When the region is active, this sets OVERLAY from the region.
     When the region is not active but OVERLAY exists, this sets the
     region from OVERLAY.

-- Function: overlay-exists-p overlay
    This function returns if OVERLAY exists in current buffer.
    When OVERLAY exists, this returns list of start and end of
    OVERLAY.

-- Function: overlay-to-region overlay
    This function sets the region to text in OVERLAY.
    This works when OVERLAY exists and the region does not exist in
    current buffer.  The OVERLAY will be deleted.

-- Function: overlay-from-region overlay
    This function sets OVERLAY to text in the region.
    When the region does not exists, set OVERLAY to point.  When
    point is within OVERLAY, do nothing.
