No. I think that your confusion lies in the fact that you are thinking of the command line as Sage. It is better to think of it as an interface to Sage. It is a customized version of the IPython (Interactive Python) shell. The command you mention is specific to the command line 'interface'. There is, as of yet, no equivalent of this command defined for the notebook interface. Hope this helps.
