FWIW, it's already possible to do that with:

(defun comp-function-type-spec (&rest args))

(which disables showing that information in all cases) or

(define-advice comp-function-type-spec (:around (cfts function))
  (unless (member function '(char-after char-before))
    (funcall cfts function)))

(which disables showing that information for specific cases).  A user 
option would perhaps make sense, though.
