Look at pacman -Sh . pacman -Sd already exists.

And how hard is it to do : pacman -S <optdepends> ?

In any cases, we need to wait for makepkg 3.4 which will ensure strict optdepends :
http://projects.archlinux.org/?p=pacman.git;a=commit;h=0845b2f13cef6db23a4a281976ec1374e93b7c4e

This will prevent all the problems listed there :  FS#16052  ,  FS#16053 

Then we will see for pacman 3.5 if we implement something like this.
So don't hold your breath.
