Which, the record operators or the text pattern operators (which
ignore collations and multi-byte character considerations and just
use memcmp())?

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=blob;f=src/backend/utils/adt/varlena.c;h=5e2c2ddc532c604a05f365f0cf6761033a35be76;hb=master#l1719

Is the fact that you have seen them used in client code even though
they are not documented an argument for or against adding
documentation for them?
