Ideally, send a patch diff against the appropriate .sgml file in the doc
source tree to pgsql-patches.  If you're not up for patching SGML, write
some plain ASCII text that would fit into the docs and send it to
pgsql-docs; somebody will take care of marking it up in SGML and
committing it where it belongs.

No, they're clearly intended as user-accessible functions.  I'd say the
author was too dern lazy to include any documentation when he submitted
the code patch :-(.  We have a lot of that disease goin' round.
