Alongside a cd I'd like to see a pushd/popd.  Cd could even be the pushd
operation.  Personally I don't care how deep the stack is or whether
it's finite at all.  The most common use case only needs a depth of 1.

I have a generic variable-stacking patch I could dredge up if the
stack-handling code is useful for this.  (Not that it'd be hard to write
from scratch, but who's not short on time?)
