I'm not going to add this. It's not generally useful for interactive
shells, and dangerous for non-interactive shells.

If this is a recurring problem for you, I suggest you write a shell
function to implement the behavior you want and run it from
PROMPT_COMMAND.

That behavior could be as simple as

pwd -P >/dev/null 2>&1 || cd ..
