The NDepend.CodeModel.ICodeElement.FullName of the type user.
The string userTypeFullName can contain wildcard '*' characters but cannot be just a single wildcard string "*".
If one or several types are matched by userTypeFullName, this method has a used by any behavior.
Returns true if this usedCodeElement is directly used by a NDepend.CodeModel.IType whose NDepend.CodeModel.ICodeElement.FullName is userTypeFullName. This method can only be called in a ICQLinqExecutionContext, otherwise the method NDepend.CodeModel.IUsed.NDepend.CodeModel.IUsed.IsUsedByType must be called instead.
