Functions that are primarily meant to implement operators are normally not documented separately: we feel it would bloat the
docs without adding a lot

Those two functions, elem_contained_by_range and pg_relation_is_updatable were only examples of hundreds of functions which are not documented. 
The real question here is not for the ones that are used internally because operators or types need them, I'm talking about those ones which does not have a way to replace it ? 

pg_get_shmem_allocations is cool and is not mentioned on DOC
pg_is_in_backup was mentioned until version 12, then removed. Why, it´s not used anymore.

This is the question, what functions exist and are useful but are not documented ?
