Yeah, I found it later. That's about as random a placement as one can
imagine, however --- this is by no possible classification a formatting
function, even if it was rather stupidly given the same name as
something that is a formatting function. I'm thinking about moving the
entry to where I expected to find it (under Date/Time Functions and
Operators).
