filter Freebase suggest results based on category

When choosing Freebase items, I get lots of irrelevant stuff with the same name -- like book editions, books, musical recordings.
Does Freebase suggest allow you to specify the categories you'll accept?
If their API allows, I'd recommend filtering:
Institution fields should allow
- College/University
- Employer
- Organization
- Company
- Museum
(there may be other relevant ones but those are the ones I've encountered)
Topics fields should allow
- Programming language
- Organizational sector
- Literature subject
- Project
- Topic
(there may be other relevant ones but those are the ones I've encountered)
Freebase Suggest does allow you to filter yes. If you can supply a list of Freebase suggest categories I'm willing to try it. Alternatively I could use the existing tags to see what the most popular categories are by now, and constrain to that.
I think this was done a while ago. It will likely need adjustment though when addressing #38
