As far as the mentions in "Data Type Formatting Functions" go, those are there because those functions are not in the SQL standard; we stole the API definitions for them from Oracle, lock stock and barrel. (Except for the discrepancies that are called out by referencing what Oracle does differently.) A number of the other references probably have similar origins.
All the time we see somebody adding a new function to Postgres core that exists in Python or GO or MySQL, but none of them are mentioned on DOCS.
I did never use Oracle but I'm almost sure on Oracle DOCS there are no mentions of Postgres, right ? Why do we need to mention it ?
