In my quick reading of the doc [1], I didn't pickup any such mention. Is it
even there?

I don't think there is a modifier to force the days from the julian epoch

See above. Not super-clear from the doc.

As DRH mentioned recently about a different piece of doc, I suspect that
doc hasn't been updated in years,
and could use some attention IMHO. It's not specified what the various
functions return in terms of types for
example. It reads more like a terse user manual than reference
documentation. Note sure how to make it more
approachable exactly, but it seems hard to grasp exactly what's going on,
at least to me. FWIW. --DD
