Yes, the docs should be fixed here. The intention is not to show the
operator families but the names of the opclasses. I can only spot one
difference in SpGiST for network_ops -> inet_ops as of the report.
BRIN, GIN and GiST look to be clean after a second lookup.

I don't have a strong opinion about the naming inconsistency between
the opclass name and the opfamily name in this case, though, couldn't
it create more problems than actually fix something?

Anyway, attached is a patch for the docs. Thoughts?
