On my home machine, I run Redhat, and I knew I came across such
functionality, so I looked around...

http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/magicdev.html
http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/bchafy/magicdev.html

Little documentation with it, but the latter page fills in the gaps. Linux
does have such functionality. There's nothing wrong with adding useful
functionality to an OS like this, IMHO.
