It was a feature in the original sorcery to help 'apprentice' wizards use
Sorcerer GNU Linux. Say you type 'killall -TERM mozilla', but you don't
have the killall command, so before reporting "command not found", sorcery
looked up the command in a file, and if found, cast the corresponding
spell (in this case 'psmisc') and then ran the command you wanted.

It has been invalid for a while, though it was a nice feature for the
newbies.
