[Pacman] Status bar (progres bar off all) + some options

Hello,
I try to find some topic about this subject, but search engine don't show me any info about this. So I want to propose a status bar off all downloaded files, how many Mb we have to download, how many we download, % information about progres, and a simple progres bar.

Something, like this:

nvidia-185.18.31-1-i686 2,9M 113,5K/s 00:00:27 [###############################################] 100%
pinentry-0.7.6-1-i686 211,6K 116,0K/s 00:00:02 [###############################################] 100%
xcb-util-0.3.5-1-i686 59,6K 110,4K/s 00:00:01 [###############################################] 100%
xf86-input-synaptic... 54,8K 94,3K/s 00:00:01 [###############################################] 100%
====================================================================================
Time left: 1724s, Downloaded: 4309K of 8230K, Progres: 50%, average speed: 108K/s, Package 12 of 24

This bar it can be bellow at all ( I think it'll be very helpfull ), and It's posible to add a option in pacman, I mean a -y (yes), for example:

pacman -Syu -Yes

or something like that, it'll auto accept to upgrade a packages from repo.

Some think like auto reboot after installing everything without error, for example:

pacman -Syu -Yes -Reboot [time]

It's only a suggestion, but this bar will be great.

But else options?

man pacman.conf. yes = "--noconfirm".

reboot:
alias upandboot="pacman -Syu --noconfirm && /sbin/shutdown -r now"
