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.
