I misread the “supported versions” section of the documentation, being new to Postgres. In the following screenshot, I took it to mean that this feature (ranges/multiranges) is supported for the “supported version” as opposed to the platform as a whole:

   Hello, according to the documentation, Postgres 12 should have multi
   range
   functions. However, in my installation of Postgres 12.12, I don't
   have any
   multi range function. When I ran them Postgres said they didn't
   exist and I
   can't see them when querying through pg_proc.
What documentation says they should be in version 12? The page you commented on is about PostgreSQL 15, and multiranges were not present in version 12...

Multiranges were added in PostgreSQL 14:

"Range types have been extended by adding multiranges, allowing representation of noncontiguous data ranges."[1]
