Hmm. I agree with the general idea of adding sanity checks, but this
might be overzealous:

This change is breaking pgsphere which has <@ @> operator pairs, but
for historical reasons also includes alternative spellings of these
operators (both called @ with swapped operand types) which now
explodes because we can't add them with the "proper" commutator and
negators declared (which point to the canonical <@ @> !<@ !@>
operators).

https://github.com/postgrespro/pgsphere/blob/master/pgs_moc_compat.sql.in

We might be able to simply delete the @ operators, but doesn't this
new check break the general possibility to have more than one spelling
for the same operator?
