The first rule of open dispatch club is "you never get a complete list of club members." :-) This is also true for e.g. Java interfaces: there is no API call for "reflectively show me all implementers of this interface."
The IDE/tools use case is a real one, but it will need to be solved in the same way IDEs currently find all implementers of an interface: the information is in the environment, not in the core of the language.
