Not really. AFAIR, there are two cases that exist in practice,
depending on which AM you're talking about:
1. The recorded types match the input types of the operator/function
(btree & hash).
2. The recorded types are always the same as the opclass's input type
(gist & gin).
In neither case does printing those types really add much information.
That's why it's not there now.
