I agree, this feature isn't useful on linux. In 100% of cases it got 
engaged for me it was a result of typo.

It would be useful to have a command that finds the port name(s) by the 
command name when needed though.
Today, for example, while searching for package that has a command 
'svlc' I do 'cd /usr/ports && make search key=svlc' and it finds nothing 
instead of finding multimedia/vlc. make search seems to search through 
package names, dependency names, but not command names for some reason.

Maybe this would be the reasonable feature to implement first instead of 
changing the missing command handlers in shells.
