I'm guessing you mean `pacman -Qqo /etc | pacman -Qm -`? Sure I guess but not 
as well. Consider:

$ pacman -Qmo /etc /var
/etc/ is owned by aurutils 10b-1
[...]
error: No foreign package owns /var

vs

$ pacman -Qqo /etc /var | pacman -Qm -
aurutils 10b-1
[...]

Which of the multiple path arguments is owned by aurutils? It isn't as easy to 
recover this info in
the pipeline.

It's also just faster and shorter to type. Who doesn't like that?
