I don't want to drag this off topic... but on some platforms, 'cd dir' will
cause 'dir' to be echoed if the user has $CDPATH set.  That has broken
some configuration/installation shell scripts that I've had to deal with 
in the past, and it seems like this behavior could cause problems with the 
macro above, as well.  Dunno if it's something to be worried about, but...
