Assuming that I've got a directory somewhere in my CDPATH called "foo"
and a subdirectory under the current directory called "foo", isn't it
logical to expect a "cd foo" to prefer the subdirectory? This is
the way it works in our C-shell. It's kind of disconcerting to get
suddenly boinked halfway across the filesystem when you were simply
trying to enter a directory right in front of you. I thought CDPATH
was only searched if the simple case failed?
