[SOLVED] If command doesn't exist, install the package that provides i
On Fedora, they have a nifty feature that if a command you're trying to run doesn't exist, it will tell you that the command is not found and proceeds to ask you if you'd like to install the package that provides it; if I'm not mistaken, it's provided by dnf-utils or dnf-plugins-core.
Does Arch have anything similar?

Note `pacman -F` can now be used with no need for pkgfile. Though I don't know if there are readily available command-not-found handlers for major shells - they'd be easy to write though.
