We should probably only document Operations

Description

I've just been doing some documentation work and I've got a whole bit about how "not all adaptor functions are operations".

And while that's technically true, there's only a small number of exceptions and I don't think any of them are designed for job writers.

Life would be a lot easier if we only publicly documented the actual Operations and hid everything else away.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing documentation section about adaptor functions and the distinction between Operations and exceptions. Done means the public documentation clearly focuses on Operations intended for job writers, with non-Operations either removed or explicitly kept private; the issue does not name specific files or tests.
