Comment(by robe):

 Hmm those don't really fit in any other place (geometry) so I guess I'll
 have to rethink my definition of accessors.

 How about we just get rid of Raster Band Accessors section and combine it
 so its

 Raster Accessors. I never liked that separation. Because a Band does not
 exist as a bonafide object.  It would be like having a Patches accessors
 or InteriorRingN accessors section.  Too much minutiae.

 When you do ST_Band() -- YOU ARE creating a new raster like it or not.
 You are taking a subset of your raster and making a new raster.  It's not
 even a pointer its a copy of the sections of your original raster.
