If you wish to submit this as a feature request, you can go to this
URL and post it:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=359028&group_id=9028&func=browse

My personal opinion would be it's a nice feature to have, but would
only work for returning the aliases in alias.conf and wouldn't be able
to return any other databases that is not found in the alias.conf
file.
