feature request: slightly better 'package not available' message

Hello all.

I tried this the other day:


$ sudo port install ack
Error: Port ack not found

Obviously, what I meant was
$ port install p5-app-ack

Perhaps it could be made to output "possible matches" as rubygems
currently does, or, like ubuntu "packages known to contain that
binary" or what not.
That would indeed be user friendlier.

Thanks much!
Sorry if this is a repeat request.
