The papers you mention seem to be about the type ismorophism theory but I can't see any that tries to asses end-user information needs and retrieval evaluation. I'm not sure you need the full theory to build an effective system to support a programmer, e.g. what about the effectiveness of a full type isomorphism search vs a bag of type identifiers with functional position model. Meaningfully limiting the query power to an IR system is a problem in practice, for space, computational and user interface reasons.
