The comment only says that data types may be shippable, but not that
they are actually shipped. Can you think of a case where a data type
would be shipped to a foreign server? I wrote a foreign data wrapper,
and I cannot think of such a case.
Perhaps the function comment should be adjusted by removing the parenthesis
or changing it to "(operator/function/...)".

You would send a patch against the "master" branch to the pgsql-docs list for that.
