Doesn't look undocumented to me: -T, --deptest Check dependencies; this is useful in scripts such as makepkg to check installed packages. This operation will check each dependency specified and return a list of those which are not currently satisfied on the system. This operation accepts no other options. Example usage: pacman -T qt "bash>=3.2".
Ahah ok. Well I am still not sure what a wrapper could add to that functionality, besides breaking it. But if everyone is against me, then I will shut up :) It is not a big deal.
It would be possible to get rid of -T and depend on vercmp for the installed dependency check. I am not sure if this is any better though (probably rather worse).
