We need a command that does what notfixed does. I don't particularly
care what we call it, but notfixed is the most symmetric thing that I
could come up with, and it's in a namespace that wasn't already being
used by any of the other commands. If we decide to rename it to
something more clear, then notfound also needs to be renamed as well.
Personally, unless there's some stunningly obvious name that I've
missed, I'd rather just keep it the way it is.
