Can dune keep the dune-project file updated?

Suppose I have a dune project and therein an executable. Now suppose I add a new library as a dependency, eg fmt:

(executable
  (name foo)
  (libraries fmt))

Theoretically, dune should be able to tell that this dependency is not mentioned in the dune-project file and add it for me:

(package
  (name ...)
  (depends
    fmt))

Obviously, it doesn’t do that today. But I’m wondering if there are any plans for dune to be able to do this?
