For clarity does this proposal refer to Chapter 9 of the documentation, the "Index", or both. If modifying Chapter 9 the function and operator tables should be extended to include a "source" column with values of "base" or "contrib: <module name>" or something similar. As to the desirability of such a change I concur that it would be a nice usability enhancement to consider beyond just updating the actual "Index".
