Some research I'm in the middle of incorporates an analogy that shows that not having positional information in the inputs to a module is like not telling a function what order its arguments are in. It also shows a way to add things like type annotations and keyword arguments.

You can estimate a bound on performance by looking at entropy from letter frequencies to words easily calculated from a dictionary and then word frequencies to (short) documents the latter of which is relevant to bag of words based information retrieval which is in common use.
