as far as i know there's no similar mechanism. Here's related things i
know:
This code will run the current file:
(defun run-current-file ()
"Execute or compile the current file.
For example, if the current buffer is the file x.pl,
then it'll call “perl x.pl” in a shell.
The file can be php, perl, python, bash,...
