Not true. Anything that is done by an operator as actually done by a
function. So the function exists:

# \df date_mi
List of functions
Schema | Name | Result data type | Argument data types
------------+---------+------------------+---------------------
pg_catalog | date_mi | integer | date, date
(1 row)

You may have to dig through the pg_operator table to find it though.

Have a nice day,
